Grape Juice

Grape juice is a sweet and refreshing beverage derived from pressed grapes. It boasts a vibrant color, ranging from pale green to deep purple, depending on the grape varietal used. The flavor profile is intensely fruity, often with notes of tartness that balance the sweetness. Freshly squeezed grape juice offers a smoother texture, while commercially produced varieties may undergo filtration for clarity. Explore its versatility as a base for cocktails, a natural sweetener in baking, or a simple, healthful drink.

Common Uses

Storage Tips

Unopened grape juice can be stored in a cool, dark pantry or cupboard at room temperature until the expiration date. Once opened, it should be refrigerated promptly and consumed within 7-10 days to maintain its quality and prevent spoilage. To prevent contamination, always pour the juice from the container rather than drinking directly from it. For longer storage, consider freezing grape juice in ice cube trays or freezer-safe containers; note that freezing may slightly alter the texture.
