Vitis riparia
Although this native grape is not useful in viticulture on it's own, it is valuable as source of grafted root stock and developing hybrids. This grape is resistant to many diseases, is adaptable to variety of soil conditions, and is extremely cold hardy.

Yes it does, and is of great value to professional viticulturist.
Does it graft readily to common eating grape varieties?
