Since 24.08.2009, it is registered in the Official Catalogue of table grape varieties, list A1.

The black brasil variety, which can be found in Brazil, is said to be a natural mutation of benitaka. Finally, Rubi should not be confused with ruby seedless, also a pink apyrene grape.

The wine region of England
England, although more famous for gin and beer, has been producing wine since Roman Imperial times (100 – 400 AD). Historically the country has not been known for the quality of its winemaking, inhibited by its northerly latitude and resulting cool Climate. However the last decade or so has seen considerable progress and expansion, and increases in planting of noble Grape varieties. Significant chaptilzation to off-set the high Acidity of under-ripe grapes was once common practice but since the 1970s and particularly since the turn of the millennium natural sugar levels have increased in the Vineyard and wines have increased in quality and reputation.
The word of the wine: Racé
