A new type of grape?

We have just bought some grapes, having been intrigued by seeing them labelled as "strawberry grapes". They are light red and literally have the flavour of strawberries. If I hadn't seen them, had been asked to close my eyes, open my mouth, and had to eat one, I could have been tricked into thinking this was a new kind of fruit I'd never come across before.

Has anybody seen/tasted them, and know what variety they are, and whether they could possibly be grown in this country? they were bought from a fruit & veg market stall, and the stallholder had no further information on them.
