This variety is hydrated, which has become an advantage in determining its consumer qualities. Victoria is a table grape variety. This variety was bred for growing in the middle Volga region. But its frost resistance, resistance to many diseases made it possible to grow this grape variety much further north than the Volga region.

This variety takes root well when propagated by cuttings. It belongs to medium-sized varieties, and therefore does not require any special structures for high-quality growth and fruiting.
