Are they going to be sweet for eating or for wine?

its a variety called 'marechal foch' and its meant to be specifically bred for the uk climate and cooler temps, as it can go down to -15. its a red wine making variety - so i'm sorted!

yes steve, i will be *reluctantly* thinning the drupes, but i alway go for quality over quantity

Bluebelle, I know you will be right, but why are grapes referred to as 'drupes', when I only call stone fruit 'drupes'? I am not being rude. I need an extra lesson.
