The consistency between growing seasons. Just look at the past four growing seasons combination of some in the Finger Lakes – two of the years were warm and dry overall (2005, 2007), one very wet weather in the year was pretty good until the end of the season (2006), and one year that kind of middle of the season and played it closer to average for most of the season (2008).

Its importance is almost incalculable, and it should re- ceive every reasonable encouragement. It is not our intention in this manual, ' OUR NATIVE GRAPE," to make known new theories, but to improve on those already in practice. Since the publication ot former works on this subject a great many changes have taken place ; new destructive diseases have ap- peared, insects, so detrimental to Grapevines, have increased, making greater vigilance and study neces- sary. / New varieties of Grapes have sprung up with great rapidity Many labor-saving tools have been introduced, in fact. Grape culture of the present time is a vast improvement on the Grape culture of years ago. The material herein contained has been gathered by the assistance of friends all over the country in all parts of the United States, and compiled and arranged that not alone our own ex- perience, but that of the best experts in the country, may serve as a guide to the advancement of Grape culture. We have spared neither time or expense to make this work as complete as possible. With all our efforts, however, we feel compelled to ask forbearance for our shortcom- ings and mild judgment for our imperfections.

Within a range of research topics, steep slope viticulture is still a major focus at the University of Geisenheim. We will discuss various aspects of consumer´s recognition, viticultural constraints in terms of climatic adaptations (water requirements, training system or fruit composition) as well as innovations in mechanisation in the context of future challenges of steep slope viticulture.

  • History of Grape Growing in the Eastern United States
    History of Grape Growing in the Eastern United States By Fred Elmer Gladwin 1931 Reproduced in 2007 from the original work which was published in eleven parts in Rural New Yorker in 193 1. Fred Elmer Gladwin (1 877-1940) was a well regarded expert in viticulture. In 1909 he was appointed a special agent of the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station (NYSAES) and put in charge of the Vineyard Laboratory at Fredonia, NY which came into existence that same year. Later he was made associate in research at the NYSAES, and in 1936 was made chief in research in Pomology, a position he held at the time of his death. His entire period of service with the Experiment Station was spent at the Vineyard Laboratory. This series of columns he authored in 1931 on the history of grape growing in the Eastern United States has been brought together here in an effort to give more prominence to a small part of his work. The citations for the work as it originally appeared are listed here: Gladwin, F.E., "A History of Grape Growing in Eastern United States: Part I," Rural New Yorker, vol.XC, no.5 156,18 April 1931, page 485-486.

Reisch1, R.S. Luce1, Bruce Bordelon2, and T. Henick-Kling3 ‘Noiret’™ (pronounced “nwahr – ay”) is a mid-season red wine grape suitable for the production of varietal wines. The dis- tinctive red wine is richly colored and has notes of green and black pepper along with raspberry, blackberry, and some mint aromas. A major distinguishing characteristic of this selection is the fi ne tannin structure that is complete from the front of the mouth to the back. The tannin structure and the absence of any hybrid aromas strongly distinguish this selection from other red hybrid grapes.

SUGAR, ACIDITY, AND JUICE COLOR DETERMINATIONS IN GRAPES J. S. SHOEMAKER INTRODUCTION The sugar content, acidity, and color of untreated JUICe of 120 grape varieties growing in the vineyard at Wooster, Ohio, were detennined in 1933 and 1934. Infonnation on sugar, acidity, and juice color of grapes is useful from a number of standpoints. The quality or flavor of varieties commonly is expressed as "good", "fair", or "poor", is based entirely on taste, and is a matter of opinion. However, tastes differ. One person may prefer the flavor of a certain variety; whereas another person may not find it agreeable. Flavor depends, in part, on the amounts and proportion of sugar and acid. In general, grapes with a high sugar content are "sweet". However, grapes with a high sugar content may also be high in acidity and, because of the latter factor, may not be considered sweet. On the other hand, grapes may not be particularly high in sugar but, because of an accompanying low acidity, may be considered sweet. There are also a number of other possible relationships between sugars and acids. The results of this investigation provide a measure of some of the factors that determine quality. In recent years, much interest has developed in the value of different grape varieties for wine.
