Seibel grapes are a group of wine grape varieties which originated with the work of Albert Seibel. They were planted widely in France during the 1950's but have seen decline in recent years due to the poor quality of the wines they produce. The grapes are still commonly used as blending grapes in table wine and mass commerical wines. New Zealand, England, and Canada also have plantings of Seibel grapes. [1]
