In grapevine varieties - the lack of seeds seen from the perspective of two phenomena parthenocarpy and stenospermocarpy - has a major impact on the consumer, representing an important added economic value, currently being one of the most appreciated features of table grape varieties. In the present work, four varieties of grapes intended for fresh consumption but also for raisins were studied - 'Sultanina’ (Thompson seedlles), 'Sublima’, 'Supernova’ and 'Călina’. The obtained results showed that the productive and qualitative performances obtained, expressed by the values of the productive indices and the organoleptic qualities (brix, glucose, fructose, acidity, gluco-acidometric index), both in the fresh product and in the raisins, correspond to the quality standards. The surprising fact is that these varieties ensure a double use - firstly as table grapes for fresh consumption and secondarily as raw material for obtaining raisins (artificial dehydration at a temperature of 500C).
