Some friends of miine own the largest muscadine vineyard in Texas. It makes great wine. They originally planned on packaging and selling the grapes in retail outlets. Customers are not accustomed to eating muscadine's with the tough skin so they didn't sell well. They started packing the grapes and shipping them to a winery which then shipped the finished wine back to them. Transportation costs were high, so they are currently installing all the large, stainless vats to make their own wine. Their wine market has grown very well in the past few years so they doubled the size of the vineyard last year.
