In viticulture a cross is specifically the offspring of any two of the same species. For example Pinotage is a cross between Pinot noir and Cinsaut, both of the Vitis vinifera species, so Pinotage is also Vitis vinifera. In viticulture a hybrid is specifically a cross between two DIFFERENT grape species. For example between Vitis vinifera and Vitis labrusca. Examples of these hybrids are the American hybrids like Catawba and Concord and the French hybrids like Baco blanc and Villard blanc. Hi Corlea
