I recently made Mustardo Amabile (Platina, from Cariadoc's Miscellany) and 
could only find Thompson seedless (a table grape variety, I'm not sure if 
they're Old World or New World), and my mustard tasted like grape jam mixed with 
mustard. I am imagining the taste would be different if made with muscat or pinot 
grapes, or some other Old World wine-making varietal.
AS A GENERAL RULE... if I remember my grapes, if the skin comes off easily 
it's a New World, if it doesn't, it's probably Old World.

Then again, we've had table and wine grapes for what? 500 years at least? 
That might be a more succent division anyway.
