It depends :-). At least in the US, there are many varieties of grapes that are only very remotely related to the classic wine grapes of Europe. Many of these are used as table grapes and many table grapes are hybrids of various grapes from the US and Europe. Careful crosses and selection of varieties over time can be done to make grapes ripen early, have a desired color, have a desired size, have desired levels of acid and sweetness, resist certain pests, be seedless, grow best in a certain climate, etc. In any given region of the US where wine grapes can be grown, there usually is a huge variety of table grapes that can be grown that ripen from much earlier to much later than the wine grapes. Of course in prime wine grape growing regions such as Napa, one is not likely to find many table grapes being grown. Prime wine grape growing land there is much too expensive for growing table grapes.
