Ruby (grape variety)

There are at least three grape varieties with this name. In 2016, nine hectares of vineyard area were designated for a variety named Ruby in Kazakhstan (Kym Anderson). However, it is unclear which one is meant:

Elvira x Brighton - USA

The red grape variety is an interspecific new breed between Brighton x Elvira. It contains genes from Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, and Vitis vinifera. The crossbreeding of the hybrid took place in 1890 in the USA by the botanist Thomas Volney Munson (1843-1913). The cultivation areas are unknown.
