There was a discussion a while back here on this. If I remember correctly,
this was solved by grafting the tops of American vines that had been
previously imported from Europe onto the European root stock. Although
maybe I have that reversed. The species or varieties were not wiped out.
Anyway, for more information on this, take a look at this file in the
