The '''Vitaceae''' are a family of [[dicotyledon]]ous [[flowering plant]]s, with 14 genera and ca 910 known species,<ref name="Christenhusz-Byng2016">{{cite journal |author1=Christenhusz, M. J. M. |author2=Byng, J. W.  |lastauthoramp=yes | year = 2016 | title = The number of known plants species in the world and its annual increase | journal = Phytotaxa | volume = 261 | pages = 201–217 | url = http://biotaxa.org/Phytotaxa/article/download/phytotaxa.261.3.1/20598 | doi = 10.11646/phytotaxa.261.3.1 | issue = 3 | publisher = Magnolia Press }}</ref> including the [[grapevine]] and [[Parthenocissus quinquefolia|Virginia creeper]]. The family name is derived from the genus ''[[Vitis]]''.  The name sometimes appears as '''Vitidaceae''', but Vitaceae is a [[conserved name]] and therefore has priority over both Vitidaceae and another name sometimes found in the older literature, '''Ampelidaceae'''. In the [[APG III system]] (2009) onwards, the family is placed in its own order, '''Vitales'''. [[Molecular phylogenetics|Molecular phylogenetic]] studies place the Vitales as the most basal clade in the [[rosids]].<ref name=APG4>{{Cite journal |last=Angiosperm Phylogeny Group |year=2016 |title=An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG IV |journal=Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society |volume=181 |issue=1 |pages=1–20 |doi=10.1111/boj.12385 }}</ref>
 
 
 
In the [[Cronquist system]], the family was placed near the family [[Rhamnaceae]] in order [[Rhamnales]].
 
 
 
Most ''Vitis'' species have 38 [[chromosomes]] (n=19), but 40 (n=20) in subgenus ''[[Muscadinia]]'', while ''[[Ampelocissus]]'', ''[[Parthenocissus]]'', and ''[[Ampelopsis]]'' also have 40 chromosomes (n=20) and ''[[Cissus]]'' has 24 chromosomes (n=12).
 
 
 
The family is economically important as the [[Berry (botany)|berries]] of ''Vitis'' species, commonly known as [[grape]]s, are an important fruit crop and, when fermented, produce [[wine]].
 
 
 
Species of the genus ''[[Tetrastigma]]'' serve as hosts to [[parasitic plant]]s in the family [[Rafflesiaceae]].
 
 
 
''[[Leea]]'', sometimes classified in its own family, [[Leeaceae]], is included in Vitaceae by [[APG IV]] (2016)<ref name=APG4/> and the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website.
 
 
 
==Earliest fossil history==
 
Well preserved-fruits of ''Indovitis chitaleyae'' containing seeds with similar morphology to the Vitaceae have been recovered from [[Late Cretaceous]] [[Deccan]] intertrappean beads of several sites in central [[India]]. These fruits and their dispersed seeds found in the same sediments, about 66 million years old, represent the oldest known fossils of the grape family. The fossil fruits containing 4 to 6 seeds are very similar to extant ''Vitis''.<ref>Oldest Fruits of the Grape Family (Vitaceae) from the Late Cretaceous Deccan Cherts of India, Steven R. Manchester, Dashrath K. Kapgate and Jun Ven. American Journal of Botany 100(9): 1849-1859. 2013.</ref>
