The red grape variety is a new breeding between Concord x Vinifera (unknown European variety). It contains genes from Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in the USA in 1883 by the private breeder A. P. Wylie, after whom it is also named. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
