Phylloxera
Phylloxera is a Latin name for a vine-louse which nearly destroyed the European vineyards in the late 1800s. As a result, most new vineplants are grafted onto a phylloxera- resistant rootstock to ensure proper vine health and adequate bearing. Phylloxera remains a problem. (Wine/Chemistry & Flaws)
