Too many different varieties sold at the supermarket to answer specifically. In general, table grapes have been bred and selected over the years for just that purpose...the table. They tend to be larger berried than wine grapes, sweeter and usually lower in acidity. Yes, they will make wine, but not wine of much character or complexity.

I have tasted most of the wine grapes in the vineyard...and while they taste good, the berries are very small (once again generally speaking), tart even when fully ripe, and there's a much larger skin to juice ratio because of the size of the berries...which contributes to the character of the wine made from them and will also have you rushing to the john if you eat many of them.
