That four-hundred-dollar bottle of French wine is secretly drinking through wild American roots. #Shorts

Jules-Emile Planchon and Charles Riley introduced the Root Graft Paradox: grafting European vines onto immune American roots. Burgundy banned the roots, but winemakers smuggled them until France surrendered its soil.

Would you have trusted the root graft solution back in 1863, or voted to ban foreign vines?
