The above Winegrape Glossary is a composite of information obtained from several types of resource. Among them are WWW sites, mailing lists, Usenet groups, and helpful individual email-ings, particularly from Bill Hagerman on Gulf State cultivars, Andrew Bennett, Bill Edinger, Lon J. Rombough and Steve Snyder for their personal lists of French-American and other hybrids etc, Harald Trost for additions relating to Austrian and Romanian varieties, George Gale for corrections to descriptions of some French-American hybrid varieties, details about the rare "Bacchus" American Riparia variety from Les Grosz and individual items from Robin Garr's Web-board correspondents.

Confirmatory details about some lesser french grapes were adapted from "Guide to the Wines and Vineyards of France" by Alexis Lichine, 2nd Edn, 1982. Other sources include publications by the "New York Wine and Grape Foundation", Penn Yan, N.Y. (U.S.A), newspapers such as the "New York Times", "Buffalo News" etc; and winery/nursery grape descriptions from California, Oregon, Ohio and Finger Lakes (NY) listings. My thanks to all those sources is heartfelt and sincere because, without them, none of the above would have appeared in its present form.
