from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leaf of the Boskoops Glorie grape variety

Boskoops Glorie is a Dutch , very resistant red wine variety that is said to be derived from the American wild grape Vitis labrusca . Boskoops Glorie is a plant that was in a test field near Wageningen with American vines in the 1950s . It is therefore assumed that it is a spontaneous crossing of two as yet unknown varieties. This variety is usually ripe in late August or early September and is resistant to fungal diseases and frost. Their taste is very aromatic, sweet and juicy. Gerard van Tol from Boskoop took care of the marketing of the variety, which has since become the most popular domestic table grape in the Netherlands . Since 1979 the variety has been popularized by Günther Pfeiffer, who has touted it as a high-quality variety in various garden articles. In Germany, it is mainly used in North Rhine-Westphalia for amateur cultivation.
