Most cultivated varieties of grape are hermaphroditic meaning they are capable of fertilizing themselves. Most wild vines and a few cultivated types are female. Only the female vines are capable of bearing fruit so a male vine or hermaphroditic vine must be nearby to pollinate the female so it can set fruit.
