There an older man that lives on the mountain behind us that has probably 5 acres of muscadines & scupernongs all organic. He will turn 89 this year (has eaten organic his entire life). I wanted to learn how to trim the vines so I have helped him trim all those vines for the last two years. He said the variety he grows has 19 to 23% sugar. You want to talk good. He also tends about a 3 acre garden. He just takes his time.

Those dark blue colored muscadines that you find in the woods are not what I have growing. I have the bronze variety that we call scuppernongs. The two taste totally different.

I wonder if you could graft to a different root stock to grow them out of the normal zone?
