Vines in Ohio?

A friend of mine would like to plant grape vines, and ultimately make wine
from them, in Cleveland, Ohio.  Has anyone out there done this? What
varieties grow there? Where can these vines be purchased in the mid-West?
Thanks for your input.

The Lake Erie region is a relatively major viticultural area.  I would
suggest looking up some wineries/vineyards in the yellow pages (or, of
course, on the web) and paying them a visit to see what they're doing.

Is anyone out there interested in vines and wine growing in the UK - that's
to say England and Wales?

We have over 1000 ha of vines now and a very active winegrowing industry
with an asasociation (the UKVA) that publishes the Grape Press 4 times a
year.

Aye!!
I've made Rose from Muscat de Hamburg grown in my greenhouse - I've
only got one vine and the wine was well chaptalized but as I live in
Northumberland I was well pleased (is this the record for the most
northerly vineyard in Europe??)
