There are thousands of grapes types from which only a few hundred are commonly used to make wine. The grapes on their own have unique characteristics which may change for better or worst in different regions around the world.

However, like anything else out there that exists in more than one place in the world, grapes can have many names. Yes, it this can be very confusing.
