The earliest varieties were propagated from choice wild seedlings, the products of chance crosses between vines. The process of breeding, however, goes one step further, by controlling pollination and choosing which varieties will act as parents for seed production.

The purpose of this web site is to explain the technology of grape hybridization once parental vines have been identified.
