When vinifera culture regained its potential (France) or when it was shown to be culturally acceptable (U.S. Great Lakes region), the status of hybrid grapes was affected. Hybrids then declined in popularity, either because of economic protectionism (France) or new confidence in commercial viability of vinifera as a high-quality commercial crop (U.S. Great Lakes region). l 4. The regions where vinifera are not commercially viable due to climate constraints continue to rely on hybrids. Further, once given the best viticulture and enology methods, many hybrid grapes produce wines of a quality and value that encourages further investment (e.g., Missouri and other continental regions where annual mid-winter temperatures fall below -25oF). What are the lessons learned? The economics of wine grape production Kinkead Ridge of Ripley, Ohio, is one of the Great Lakes-area wineries vinifying the French-American hybrid Traminette. suggest that all regions must produce wine grapes of two types: 1) those upon which the region can build a positive reputation, and 2) those that can be relied upon to pay the bills and keep the operation solvent. In most historic wine regions these may be the same grape cultivars. In others they may be different. In young regions this is still an active dynamic, but in either case, both types are critical economically.
