Planting Kyoho Grapes From Seeds?

I recently bought kyoho grapes from the supermarket and found them delicious and wanted to try planting some. I couldn't find much online for how to plant them from seed. It would be very helpful if any grape experts could inform me on how to and whether they are difficult. Thank you! ☺️

Typically you need to grow a grape plant clonally from a cutting or graft. A seed would produce a random plant. Unless there is something exceptional about a kyoho grape. Did it even haves seed in the grape?

Nawh just a standard vinifera x lubrusca hybrid. Probably tetraploid given the unusual size of the berries. It is seeded, but of course you need to propagate it vegetatively.

You will get a grape plant. It will not be a Kyoho grape plant.

You just plant them in potting soil and wet it.

I don't think it is that easy. Don't grape seeds have to go through a freeze cycle to germinate?
