    I have two grape vines which were well established when I purchased my house almost 14 years ago. They are green grapes but they taste like concord grapes to me. Any idea what they are?

    There are two varieties of concord: the purple and the white.

    They could be any of a number of varieties.

    You may have Niagara or if its seedless possibly Himrod or Interlaken.

    Concord grapes are a specific variety used mostly for grape jam or Welchs grape juice.

    It is also used sometimes to describe any purple fruited labrusca type grape.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers
