You have it backward, they used American rootstocks, whatever the pest was it
was underground. I don't know if it was from European varieties exported to
America, I think perhaps it was actually American grape rootstocks, but don't
quote me on this. Of course, since both types of grape had to have had a
common point of origin at some time.....
