In Western Europe in the 19th century a lot of grapes were cross-bred in order to increase their resisitance to insects inoirted froim overseas (mainly from colonies or Americas). The Black Sea varieties (not being exposed to such maladies) on the whole remained the way they used to be for centuries. Till Gorbachev came.... Many types of grapes were unique indeed.

The grape varieties used in the former USSR were often unique to the region and not used around the rest of the world. A lost opportunity to capitalise on the better products even now. Had there been a stronger industry I suspect the better product would simply have been exported reducing the stock on the shelf rather than destroying it as it was.
