Abstract
This paper introduces the only Euriasian taxon of the wild grapevine, Vitis vinifera L . subsp. sylvestris (Gmelin) Hegi, its domestication and the anthropic causes that have drastically reduced the populations of this subspecies from the Iberian Peninsula to Afghanistan. Besides, reference is made to the problem of the loss of biodiversity in the vineyard and to the importance of this native vine in order to reduce that genetic erosion. On the other hand, it is pointed out that, although this parental of the cultured grapevine is protected by law in France, a major loss of specimens has occurred in this region. According to our observations, which began in 1992 and were verified in 2015, several areas covered with Atlantic climax vegetation were completely destroyed near St. Jean de Luz, specifically, in the Acotz-Chibau area. Cartographic information concerning the remaining relict populations of wild grapevines is in- cluded in order to facilitate in situ conservation work. Furthermore, data on the accompanying vegetation and the health status of the grapevines are also presented.
