The Concord grape was developed by Ephraim Wales Bull from native
grapes in the Concord area. The original vine is still at his house
(the Grapevine Cottage). (I now live in Concord and have seen the
cottage and vines.)

From Wikipedia: The Concord grape was developed in 1849 by Ephraim
Wales Bull in Concord, Massachusetts. Bull planted seeds from wild
Vitis labrusca and evaluated over 22,000 seedlings before finding what
he considered the perfect grape, the original vine of which still
grows at his former home.

Bull died in near-poverty. His tombstone reads: "He sowed — others
reaped."

I've used a linen pillowcase for a (large) jelly bag.
