  1. 1vinifera hybrids refer to interspecific hybrids derived from crosses between the European wine grape, V. vinifera, and wild American Vitis species other than V. labrusca.
  2. 2labrusca hybrids (i.e. 'Concord' and 'Niagara'; sometimes referred to as V. labruscana) refer to V. vinifera x V. labrusca hybrids that are derived primarily from V. labrusca because of repeated backcrossing.
  3. 3Sometimes referred to as Muscadinia rotundifolia.
