Might be different in other languages, but English usually divides grapes into red and white for color.

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'

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/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.
