Which ones do you know better?
If you know both equally well, you may vote for both.

Thompson seedless grapes are used in the manufacture of many wines. I worked in the largest winery in the world for over 30 years and we used tons of Thompson seedless aka Sultana grapes. We produced over 1 million cases of wine every week that I worked there.
