KOMPAS.com – Shine Muscat grapes are increasingly popular among fruit lovers due to their sweet taste and crunchy texture.
The specialty of this wine lies not only in its taste, but also in its fairly high price, which makes it a target as a gift. Unfortunately, this popularity has also attracted the emergence of imitation wines on the market.

Therefore, it is important for consumers to understand how to distinguish genuine Shine Muscat wine from imitations so as not to be deceived when shopping.
Reported from the page Tasting Tablesee how to differentiate below.
1. Pay attention to the color and size of the grapes
Genuine Shine Muscat grapes usually have a brilliant yellowish green color, with large fruit size and a perfectly round shape.
While imitation grapes tend to have a paler or less uniform green color. Genuine Shine Muscat also has a thin skin and is easy to chew.
2. Distinctive Aroma and Taste
Genuine Shine Muscat grapes have a distinctive floral aroma and a sweet, candy-like taste. This sweet taste is not accompanied by a sour taste, as is often found in ordinary green grapes.
In contrast, imitation wines usually have a lighter aroma or even no aroma at all, with a taste that is unbalanced between sweet and sour.
3. Fruit Texture
Genuine Shine Muscat has a crunchy fruit texture and dense fruit flesh, similar to jelly. When bitten, this fruit produces a distinctive juicy sensation. Imitation grapes may be softer or have a less crunchy texture.
4. Regarding Price
Genuine Shine Muscat grapes tend to sell for quite high prices, both in local markets and in online stores.
If you find wine at a much cheaper price, there is a possibility that it is an imitation wine. A low price is often an indicator that the wine is not genuine Shine Muscat.
5. Labels and Packaging
Some countries, such as Japan and Korea, mark Shine Muscat grapes with special labels indicating their origin and quality.
Paying attention to these labels can help ensure product authenticity. Exclusive packaging with provenance information is also often a sign that the wine is authentic.
