Here in Virginia they are looking for a crop to replace tobacco. Some areas have adopted grapes and there is a growing (sorry about that pun) wine industry. There is not much of a demand for wine with a tobacco back taste. After hundreds of years growing tobacco, it may be many generations before the soil gives up it unique character.
