Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Raisins, Zante Currants, Sultanas
When top confectioners can pick out their raisins, they mostly choose dried wine grapes. They are big, reddish raisins with pits and a thick peel, different in appearance and taste from sultanas and Zante currants.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
