peer agreement (net): +1collections of vines Explanation: I think what is meant here, similar to the experimental vineyards, is vineyards housing collections of different vine varieties (for the purpose of hybridization, etc.). "Vine collections" might also work. e.g. "The experimental vineyard in which these vines were planted was named the Vitiarium, or collection of vines, and the individual varieties Viziati." http://www.agricolasanfelice.it/en/area-professional/company... His collection of vines is Wake County's only commercial vineyard. http://www.garnercitizen.com/2009/10/19/local-winemaker-make... They can trace their lineage back to 1832 and the Busby collection of vines.

heirloom vines Explanation: If they're referring to traditional, old-fashioned, non-hybrid vines, maybe this is a possibility. I have not researched it, so take the suggestion with a grain of salt - it was just something that came to mind, as it's commonly used for certain vegetables and garden plants in the USA. |

peer agreement (net): +1(ampelographic) collection vineyards Explanation: These are planted for genetic research purposes on local cultivars. 'Grapevines are propagated vegetatively through cuttings, which historically were taken from one region of Turkey and introduced to another without regard for the cultivar name. In its new location, the cultivar received a new name, or the existing name was altered in accordance with the local dialect. As a result, there are now a great number of homonyms and synonyms for the names of grape cultivars. Due to the lack of ampelographic collection vineyards and thorough ampelographic studies it has not been possible to reliably verify these homonyms and synoyms. Moreover, the traditional ampelographic practice of analyzing and comparing morphological characters to identify cultivars is not sufficiently reliable because of phenotypic variation arising from enviromental factors, individual plant biology, and plant growth stage.' (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.0018-0661.2008.... 'The ampelographic work was carried out on the above-mentioned presumed clones and on homologated clones cultivated in the same collection vineyard located on Elba Island.'

As an example of a local (Piedmont) 'vigneto collezione' (in Italian), take a look at page 2 of this doc http://www.oicce.it/pdf/2006grinzane.pdf -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2010-12-07 12:25:11 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thanks, Frances.
