Commercial grape production in Tennessee is limited to less than 40 ha, mostly of American type cultivars (15). Considerable interest has been expressed in producing wine grapes in the state. Cultivars of Vitis vinifera L.,the major wine grape of the world have not been very successful in the eastern United States due to lack of winter hardiness (10, 11). Some cultivars of French hybrid type grapes, crosses of V. vinifera L.and American grape species perform well and are winter hardy. Cultivars reported winter hardy are Rosette in Tennessee (9); Aurore, Chancellor, Vidal 256, DeChaunac, and Villard Blanc in Ohio (3); and Vidal 256, DeChaunac, and Chelois in Pennsylvania (6, 7, 8) trials. Trials were established by University of Tennessee researchers to evaluate performance of selected French hybrid type cultivars.
