Currants are glossy red or black berries that grow on thornless upright shrubs. To be classified as a currant, the bush must be in the genus Ribes. Native to the Northern Hemisphere, these plants have been cultivated throughout Europe and Asia for centuries.
So called Zante Currants, Zante Raisins or worse Currants without the Zante prefix (those little raisiny things) are in fact dried grapes and have nothing to do with real currants.
