The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Ten Dollar Prize x Worden(Concord - open-pollinated). It contains genes from Vitis labrusca, Vitis lincecumii and probably also Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1889 by the US botanist Thomas Volney Munson (1843-1913). It is mainly used as table grape. The variety was a crossing partner in the new Universal variety.
The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
