Vitis amurensis is a robust, woody vine that can reach heights of approximately 20 meters under optimal conditions, though such growth is uncommon. The large leaves are typically rounded or shallowly lobed with a serrated edge, transforming to a vivid red during the autumn months. In June and July, this species produces small, greenish flowers, which are succeeded by clusters of dark purple to black fruit that possess an acidic flavor. These fruits are suitable for making wine, jellies, jams, and various culinary applications. It is important to note that only female cultivars will yield fruit.

Vitis comprises robust deciduous climbing plants featuring tendrils and lobed foliage. They produce inconspicuous green flowers that give way to frequently edible grapes. Certain species also exhibit notable color changes in their leaves during the autumn months.

Vitis betulifolia is a robust climbing vine known for its ability to cling and climb using tendrils. The foliage consists of oval to oblong leaves measuring between 5 and 10 cm in length, characterized by a toothed edge and, at times, a three-lobed appearance. The young leaves are densely covered in hairs that range from white to tawny in color. In the fall, the leaves transition to deep orange and red hues. The plant produces inconspicuous greenish flowers, which give way to small, blue-black berries.

Vitis coignetiae is a robust, deciduous vine that can reach heights of approximately 15 meters. Its leaves are large, ranging from 30 cm in length, and are typically heart-shaped with 3 to 5 lobes. The upper surface is a dark green, while the underside features a brown, felt-like texture. In the fall, the foliage transforms to shades of scarlet and crimson. During the summer, the plant produces small, inconspicuous greenish flowers, which are later succeeded by clusters of small, blue-black berries measuring about 1 cm in diameter.

Vitis vinifera is a woody vine that can reach heights of 15 to 18 meters, using tendrils to climb. Its leaves can be either three or five lobed, featuring coarse teeth, and measure up to 15 centimeters in both length and width, with petioles that are roughly half the length of the leaf blade. The flowers are small and greenish, arranged in loose clusters. The fruit takes the form of either oval or round grapes. This species includes numerous cultivars, which have been bred for their edible berries or for their varied ornamental characteristics, as the foliage displays a range of sizes, shapes, and colors.
