    Grape

    Vitis species are woody climbing vines that produce clusters of berries. There are about 60 Vitis species found mostly in temperate regions in the Northern Hemisphere. Vitis vinifera, the principal grape species cultivated for fine winemaking, is native to the Mediterranean and southwestern Asia. Several Vitis species are native to North America, from Canada to Mexico. In cultivation, V. vinifera wine grapes are commonly produced on grafted vines whose rootstocks were derived from North American species such as V. riparia and V. rupestris, which impart resistance to pests and tolerance to adverse soil conditions. Fruit-producing hybrids of V. vinifera and North American species were first developed for their resistance to the root aphid phylloxera. However, as many hybrids are more winter hardy than V. vinifera they are the most common cultivars planted in areas having cold winter climates. The quality of wines produced from hybrid cultivars is generally considered inferior to that from V. vinifera.

    Graphite

    Graphite is one of the 4 allotropes of carbon. The other allotropes are Diamond, the fullerenes also known as "bucky balls" and amorphous carbon (charcoal, coke and carbon black). These allotropes of the same element carbon have very different crystal structures and physical properties. There are 2 types of graphite - natural and synthetic. Natural graphite is black with a sub-metallic lustre, feels greasy and stains the fingers. Graphite is found mainly in Metamorphic Rocks, most frequently in schist and as small crystals in impure marbles in association with other minerals.

    Grasses
