What do they sometimes say: there is no warning sign that you may not pick them, but there are also no signs that you may pick them! But all jokes aside, I am sure they do not mind. But the grapes for winemaking are not great for eating, the skins are tougher and there is very little "flesh" per fruit.
Thank you so much!
I wonder why there's less flesh? It seems like more juice per grape would be a good thing. I get that a tough skin is better, but less juice?

I think it has something to do with the concentration of sugars. The bigger the grapes grow, i.e., for fertile soil, the less sugar is present in the fruit itself. I know of a winery where I live that grows grapes in stone layers, there is only about 10% soil. And they get very bad rainfall. But their wines are top-class and some of the most expensive in the area. The reason behind this: stress the plant and it will have very low yields, but the sugars in those few grapes will be of such quality to make top wines.
That makes sense... I guess wine grapes must grow wild in quite a few dry areas?

I have actually never thought about it neither have I ever seen wild grapes! That is so interesting though.
They must have been wild at one time...

True. Interesting find, there is something called "wild grape" in South Africa, but the fruit is poisonous and not related to grapes in any sense. If you are interested to read more about this strange plant. I saw it whilst on a walk last week per chance!
Seems like a bad name for a poisonous plant! I'll have a read, thanks :)
