英语词汇catawba grapes的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Catawba grapes; Concord. A light reddish variety of grape grown in the eastern United States, the Catawba was developed by John Adlum in his vineyard near Georgetown in 1829, its dominant parent being the northern fox grape. It was named three years later for the Catawba Indians of the Carolinas, or for the Catawba River, which takes its name from the Indian tribe. The Catawba, long a traditional favorite, contains some vinifera blood and is one of the best grapes for white domestic wines. By 1860, nine-tenths of all grapes grown east of the Rockies were Catawbas, but they were thereafter replaced by the Concord, perfected in 1850, as the leading American vari- ety. See also catawba.
