It looks as though you're writing from Germany. This is a UK based
gardening group and the vines we are familiar with are not likely to be
those grown in Germany.

I can't answer the question, but I have one that looks very similar
here in SE London. The most distinctive feature is that the grapes are
globular rather than the eggs of the ones seen in shops. Mine came
from a harvest festival decoration that I cut into lengths and
planted. One of them took and after 5 years I'm getting sizeable
grapes.
