Summary: 



VINE-GROWN TOMATOES is of course content-free but VINE-RIPENED is
very significant!  If you don't see this mention, it might well be
the case that the tomatoes were "GAS-RIPENED" that is, picked when
hard and green, refrigerated for months, and then made red by being
treated with a certain gas, whose name escapes me right now.  It goes
without saying that the result has no taste.
