For 47 years, the purpose of the genetic breeding program "Uvas do Brasil", led by Embrapa Uva e Vinho, has been the development of novel grape cultivars adapted to Brazilian conditions. The program uses classical breeding methods and biotechnological approaches to create new cultivars based on the genetic variation of more than a thousand genotypes preserved in the Germplasm Bank at Embrapa. Since its inception, the program has released 21 cultivars meeting the demands of national grape growers and wine industry alike. These locally bred cultivars allowed juice and wine production in the tropics, expanded seedless grape exports in the semi-arid Northeast, and, improved the quality of the grapes and their derived products in the traditional region Serra Gaúcha. These new cultivars represent genuine Brazilian products, boosting yield and quality. The use of adapted genotypes also lower production costs and reduces the environmental impact of vineyards. In conclusion, locally bred grapevine cultivars increase the growers' security and result in competitive advantages for Brazilian grapes in the national and international markets.
