How do seedless grapes continue to reproduce?!

New vines are propagated by striking cuttings, or by grafting onto new root stock
(Don't really know if this is true, but it sounds impressive, don't you think?)

They don't. Seedless grapes are actually sprayed with some sort of plant hormone (that's not the right term but hopefully you get the idea) when in flower (or just before) which stops the plant growing the seeds so they can't reproduce. I think it has something to do with flower as well, I learnt this in biology lessons years ago but can't really remember now. Might be worth asking this in biology category now tho.

They propagate by grafting onto rootstocks. You can have more than one kind of grape on a single vine. The first seedless grape was an accident. This is good for grapes tho now they don't have to stay up so late at night waiting for everyone to go to sleep before they can have sex. hard getting a litte privacy when you are a grape.

They have been to the donor bank before being deseeded.
So that, long after their having been consumed their offspring may be created.
It'll end in tears !!

there either picked pefor the seed grows, and some are genetically modified to be like that. sine are that way from natural selection by the growers, and reproduced through cuttings.
