I don't think many folk grow vines from seed, certainly don't recall seeing any for sale.

Hi,
Sorry, not aware of any - we usually take cuttings or you can buy small vines (disease resistant root stock). Are you planning to grow lots of vines?
If you really want to try from seed I suppose you could just buy grapes ..... although I would really try and get some small vines if I were you.

I agree with Pawty, you'll get a much stronger plant in a short time by planting a cutting they root very easily. I once germinated some grape seeds from a delicious grape that had a strawberry flavour from a market in Madeira, but they were rather weedy plants and never really got going.

Hi Abbie!
Obviously as they produce seed they will grow from them but it may be a long term investment & you may not reap the reward you want quick enough to get a good crop. I'm no expert, but make friends with someone who grows some who may give you cuttings to root on, but it is too late now, so stay friendly for a bit!
