Vitis vinifera purpurea, also known as Purpleleaf Grape or Teinturier Grape, is a cultivar of Vitis vinifera that is known for its deep purple foliage. The leaves are typically a deep burgundy color in the summer, and turn a brilliant red in the fall. The grapes are also a deep purple color, and are edible, but they have a bitter skin.

Vitis vinifera purpurea is a vigorous vine that can grow up to 30 feet long. It is hardy to USDA zones 5-9, and can be grown in a variety of climates. The vine prefers full sun and well-drained soil. It is relatively easy to care for, and does not require a lot of pruning.

Vitis vinifera purpurea is a popular ornamental vine, and is often used to create trellises, arbors, and other structures. It can also be grown as a groundcover. The vine is also a good choice for winemaking, as the deep purple color of the grapes gives the wine a rich flavor.
