United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018Krewer, Gerard2004-05-25Encyclopedia article about viticulture and wine making in Georgia. Georgia has a long tradition of grape growing and wine making based on the native muscadine grape (Vitis rotundifolia). In recent decades, with the advent of modern fungicides, the European bunch grape (Vitis vinifera) and French-American hybrids (European bunch grape crossed with American bunch grape) are being grown successfully in the mountain areas of Georgia. Georgia leads the nation in the production of muscadine table grapes that have been developed primarily by breeders at the University of Georgia.text/htmlengForms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.Wine industry--GeorgiaGrapes--GeorgiaViticulture--GeorgiaWine and wine making--GeorgiaGrapes and wineText
