Importance of grafting
I looked here, and later at the Phylloxera page, hoping to get some idea of how much the European wine industry is still dependent on grafting Vitis vinifera vines onto rootstock of American Vitis species (and hybrids). Initially, based on this page, I got the impression that grape vines are mostly propagated from cuttings, suggesting that Vitis vinifera plants in Europe are mostly grown with the roots and fruiting vines from the same individual. Further reading of the Phylloxera page suggests otherwise, but the degree to which European vines are grafted to American stock is still far from clear from these articles. I suggest that someone familiar with the situation provides some clarification. I am not seeing anything obviously wrong here, but possibly quite misleading.Harry Meanwell (talk) 19:32, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

I believe adding the chip-bud method of propagating grapes and the bud-graft method of propagating grapes will be very helpful for those studying the topic.Moee225 (talk) 02:51, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
