California grape growers made a costly error when they grafted vine plantings onto AxR-1 rootstock (an abbreviation for a name based on its parentage, "Aramon Rupestris Ganzin No. 1") – turns out that it was not actually entirely resistant to Phylloxera, requiring expensive replanting when the louse swiftly infected vineyards in the 1980s.
Cheers!

Dennis – Indeed!
