Approximately 71% of world grape production is used for wine, 27% as fresh fruit, and 2% as dried fruit. A portion of grape production goes to producing grape juice to be used as a sweetener. Grapevines usually only produce fruit on shoots. This is one of the principles behind pruning the previous years growth that includes shoots that have turned hard and woody during the winter. These vines will be pruned either into a cane which will support 8 to 15 buds or to a smaller spur which holds 2 to 3 buds. Some uses of grapes are raw eating, wine, jam, juice, jelly, grape seed extract, raisins, vinegar, and grape seed oil.
