[HI-brihd; HI-brih-dyz] In a pure sense, the word hybrid in the wine world refers to a vine or grape created by breeding two varieties from different species or genuses (such as vitis vinifera and vitis riparia or vitis labrusca). However, the term sometimes also refers to a cross, which is a vine or grape created by breeding two varieties of the same genus (Vitis vinifera, for example). baco noir is a red French-American hybrid created by breeding folle blanche (Vitis vinifera) with a native American vine (Vitis riparia). müller-thurgau is an example of a cross between riesling and sylvaner, both of which are Vitis vinifera. Hybrids are created in an effort to produce a plant with the best traits of its parents, such as high productivity, disease resistance, and/or better adaptability to environmental conditions. One who creates hybrids is called a hybridist or hybridizer. See also clone.
A mule is a hybrid of a horse and a donkey.
