From 1864 onwards, the "Great French Wine Blight" caused by the introduction of grape phylloxera, an aphid-like insect native to North America, decimated the French vineyards. By the late 1870's 40% of French vineyards had been lost. The solution was to graft blight resistant cuttings from American vine stock, which gained acceptance throughout the 1880's. It was into this atmosphere, that Duplessis was providing his résume of maladies of wine and their solutions. .
