==Wines== [[File:Niagara grape.jpg|left|thumb|Photographic plate of Niagara grape from the book ''The Grapes of New York'', 1908 by [[Ulysses Prentiss Hedrick]]]] The fresh grape is large and juicy, round to oval-shaped, pale greenish-white in color and has a sweet, very pleasant aroma. It also has a sweet and generally pleasant flavor, sometime being described as "[[Foxy (wine)|foxy]]". One reviewer, Paul Bulas, attempted to characterize the "foxy" description. In analyzing the Niagara grape, he detected aromas like candied lemon rind, a [[Riesling]]-like diesel aroma, flowery jasmine-like notes, and what he called "a high-toned, candied muskiness." This latter descriptor he felt was the primary element of the term "foxy". His opinion of wines made with the grape is that they have unique and interesting properties that are not well known due to Niagara's reputation as a less-than-optimum wine grape. A diesel aroma in wine is considered to be a positive attribute, but it can be excessive in wines made with the Niagara grape. One opinion is that Niagara grape skins should not contact the [[must]] for too long a time after [[pressing (wine)|pressing]] to avoid an excess of this characteristic.{{Citation needed|date=May 2010}}
