"Champagne grapes" is the name given to a specific type of grape, the Corinth. These grapes should not be confused with the various groups used to make wine in the Champagne region of France. Champagne grapes are usually small black grapes without seeds. There exist both red and white varieties of the Corinth, but they are much less common. Champagne grapes are the smallest of all seedless grapes, which is one reason they are so popular, particularly for drying. The name "Champagne Grapes" actually comes from a photo shoot done for the grapes in a magazine, in which the grapes were alongside a Flute of Champagne.

∙ 14y agoNo such thing as Champagne grapes. Champagne is made with a mixture of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (and sometimes some other nominated grape - according to terroir).
Unless you mean the Corinth grape variety - which is sometimes called the Champagne Grape for marketing purposes.
If you have any Corinth grapes - no, I certainly don't want to buy them.
