Rinse the seedless grapes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry.
In a medium saucepan, combine the grapes and water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Allow the grapes to cook for about 8-10 minutes, occasionally mashing them gently with a wooden spoon to release their juices.
Once the grapes are soft and the juices are released, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Strain the grape mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl, pressing down on the solids to extract as much juice as possible.
If desired, stir in granulated sugar to the strained juice while it is still warm to enhance the sweetness. Allow the juice to cool completely in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
When ready to serve, pour the cooled grape juice into a pitcher, and gently add the sparkling water. Stir carefully to retain the fizz.
Serve immediately over ice cubes in individual glasses, and enjoy your homemade sparkling grape juice!
