why do we call green grapes white
Or purple grapes red?
(I'm guessing due to the type of wine they make)
Don't even get me started on 'white' people.
Meanwhile stupid USians subscribe to the literal 19th-century ‘scientific racism’ theory that has ‘Caucasian people’ as something other than deeply tan skin that Caucasian people actually have.
Grapes don't make wine, silly. They're inert.
Source?!
"the ~~balls~~ grapes are inert"
when i say "red grapes," i'm always referring to the ones that are actually red because they have the most satisfying snap when you eat them.
Who calls green grapes white..?
Never heard that happen
two examples: white wine, white grape juice. both are very common. seems to refer to the juice color, not the color of the grape skins.
when they're made into raisins, they're called golden raisins. so "white" isn't even the only one.
Never heard about green grapes. Here in Germany they are called "white grapes" and EN-Wikipedia is also calling them that in english. We are also talking it "white wine" and so on.
Might be different in other languages, but English usually divides grapes into red and white for color.
The fuck it does
White Wine
That's only because the wine is whitish. Nobody calls the grapes themselves white. And she squeeze the juice out the juice isn't the same color as the skin. I've never heard anyone refer a grapes as white grapes
Pink balls
We're talking about grapes?
In English, grapes are green or red.
Wine is not a grape. White wine and red wine refers to the color of the wine. Nobody calls vodka golden because it came from a potato.
Which part of the world are you from? I'm in Canada, and we call them green grapes and red grapes

Meanwhile Wikipedia notes '"Black" (dark blue) and "white" (light green) table grapes'
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grape
US. When I go to my local grocery store, they're categorized under white or red.
At least for white, that is indeed how the English Wikipedia classifies different grape cultivars, even ones that aren't intended to make wine. Black is new to me though.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultana_(grape)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almeria_(grape)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italia_(grape)
Might just be that my grocery store is real local and they do it differently. I try to avoid large chains. But I've always understood white and red to be the technical classifiers of grapes, and the actual color you see with your eyes varies.
I'm also from a wine-producing region, so maybe that has something to do with it as well.
