French-American hybrids have created considerable interest in this country and at the present time many selections are being widely tested. They were developed in France by hybridizing viniferavarieties with native American species and subsequently intercrossing or backcrossing the most desirable selections. The breeders selected definitely for wine purposes and consequently the fruit is characterized by high sugar content, considerable acidity and a neutral or clean flavor free of foxiness, although a few possess muscat aroma. A few selections have been named but most of them are known by the breeder's name and his selection number such as Seibel 13053, Seyve-Villard 5-276, etc.
