Replace Grapevine with Seedless variety ?

I am having a think about replacing my Black Hamburg grape vine. Its doing well and its productive but I just can't get used to 3 to 5+ seeds in each grape I am finding it very annoying , the result is I eat half a bunch and throw the rest in the compost bin around 20 bunches . Kind of feel bad replacing a perfectly healthy plant , its does have a good ornamental appearance in the GH , not 100% sure I want to replace it yet.

So any recommendations for a potential new seedless grapevine - desert -indoor variety ? I've had a look around and seen one called Vanessa which looks a good fit.

 

I tend to like the ones that have a bit of muscat type flavour, so I have Lakemont, it was a disaster this year though due to some kind of pest.

Also have a small Flame, that was also attacked, but has a couple of bunches, first ones for me on that plant.

These are outside, the Lakemont was quite good last year.

There are those newer varieties and probably worth a try, I 'd look for something with a good flavour, always thought Black Hamburg was a bit short on taste and really a wine grape, but I know they sell it as a dual purpose vine.

 

Lakemont is the only seedless variety this specialist nursery feels able to recommend as suitable for growing in the UK: Lakemont Seedless Grape Vines - Chris Bowers

I have here a Fragola or Strawberry Grape https://www.chrisbowers.co.uk/product/grape-fragola/ which I planted last year, it has not fruited yet but is an attractive vine which has settled in and grown well. This is a musk grape and as the name suggests the fruits are meant to taste a bit like strawberries! We shall see.....

 

Deacons Nursery also have Canadice and Interlaken which are white seedless, or Himrod which they recommend

 

So @Perki ....

Any update on your plans for replacement?

I myself am a proud owner of a "Vanessa" which survived -20°C surprisingly well. Since I planted last year, I haven't had the chance to taste them yet though...

 

I did replace it last Winter/Spring with Lakemont , no grapes its to early yet for them but I may let one bunch form this year if it does try and produce even though its not recommended . I am hoping its come through the winter ok no life in it yet but it should be fine.

 

Am thinking of getting a grape vine for the greenhouse. We’ve previously grown Black Hamburg’s but found them quite bland and very seedy, grew prolifically.

We’re open to red or white but would prefer a seedless, any recommendations and updates on varieties?

 

Atleast I'm glad to hear someone else thinks black hamburg is bland and seedy.

I've never thought much of it other than something to make a few bottles of plonk out of.
If you want a tasty one I would suggest any you can find that have a muscat type flavour.
