Seeing as I have not only Best Of Cream, but also Woodstock sitting next
to my cheap CD player in my office, no, man, you don't....!

Grapevine fanleaf nepovirus, grapevine leafroll closteroviruses I-V, gv A
closterovirus, gv Algerian latent tombusvirus, gv Bulgarian latent
nepovirus, gv chrome mosaic nepovirus, gv Tunisian ringspot nepovirus, gv
yellow speckle viroids I and II - apart from anything else that infects
grapevine, like the various ilarviruses....  Ever wonder why you get that
glorious colour from autumn vineyards?  Grapevine leafroll....
