英语词汇fox grape的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

fox grape. The Theatre of Plants (1640) by John Parkinson in- forms us that “The Foxe Grape . . . is white, but smelleth and tasteth like unto a Foxe,” which is presumably why the Ameri- can grape is so named. There are two species of wild fox grapes, the northern (Vitis labrusca, which is the source of the cultivat- ed Concord grape and other varieties) and the southern (Vitis rotundifolia, which is the source of the scuppernong). The wine term foxy refers to the pungent fruity flavor of Concord wine and other wines made from native American grapes, these wines reminiscent of jelly or jam to many people. See northern fox grape.
