Royal Vine grapes have been available for purchase at the food hall on the basement first floor of the main building since August. The name 'Royal Vine' combines 'Royal', signifying the luxury of royalty, and 'Vine', which refers to grapevine-like plants, and means 'the grapevine of royalty'.

While the average sugar content of watermelon is known to be about 10 Brix, Royal Vine grapes are a high-sugar variety with an average of over 22 Brix and a maximum of up to 30 Brix. They are also seedless and can be eaten with the skin.

By adopting a 'club cultivation' method, only a limited number of select domestic grape farms are permitted to grow Royal Vine grapes, allowing for strict quality control. As a next-generation premium variety, Royal Vine grapes are available at the food hall on the basement first floor of the main building of Gwangju Shinsegae and are sold at 24,800 won per pack.
