Accomplishments

NE-1020 members are sharing information about existing research trials of cultivars and clones, and discussed strategies for planning future trials. It was determined that uniform procedures would be developed that would allow meaningful evaluation of viticulture characteristics and wine quality potential of clones of economically significant cultivars throughout the USA at multiple test sites. Data could be compared by the use of 'control' selections in each test block. Plans were made for the development of coordinated proposals for funding to purchase nursery stock for planting the first trials which will be used to characterize the viticultural and wine quality potential of emerging cultivars based on regional needs.

Impacts

We anticipate that the establishment of this network of national trials will help grapevine nurseries, grape growers, and vintners become more competitive both within their region or production area and in the international market.The environmental impact of wine grape production would be reduced by identifying disease and pest resistant cultivars and cultivars. Alternative cultivar/product options would be created for areas where traditional cultivars and markets have declined.Our national grape importation program would be enhanced by evaluation data that would improve our ability to judge the potential impact of introducing individual accessions.Grape breeding and selection programs would be more efficient due to a better understanding of grape and wine genotype X environmental interactions and nature of clonal variation.
