1 not all grape vines were wiped out (true, it was tough, but they grafted american vines on the existing vines... so essentially they retained genetic markers, and added resistance)

So "all French Grape Vines are originally from CA" that's an F- in the facts department

2 it ain't only about the vines, it's also about the location of the vines, the soil, the elevation, the ground water, the climate
you can have 2 patches of grape vines, just 10 meters apart
and one patch will go in to a grand cru, the other in daily table wine

3 then there's the way the grapes are processed into wine
the inside secrets and what not...
no wine is made from one single patch, one single grape vine
