I am uncomfortable with the listing of cultivars on this page. None of these are pure Vitis labrusca, and while they are similar in many characteristics to labrusca, they are more properly termed Vitis x labruscana. I would prefer to see this article renamed that, and a separate article set up solely for the wild species Vitis labrusca (there have been purely labrusca cultivars, but very few of these are currently extant, and none are commercially important). I'm also a little confused why the reference to Canadian Moonseed is here. Elakazal 02:54, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
