Determining the relationship between the origin of a grape variety and its geographical growth is one of the aspects of clarifying the concepts of �autochthon� and �aboriginal�. The autochthon not only preserves its genotype and purity of origin, but also conveys in color, smell, taste the features of the soil, climate and area where the crop was grown, it most fully includes the well-known macro, micro and other healing elements inherentonly in this climatic zone, in which he is recognized as �autochthon�. The relevance and scientific interest of the article lies in the proposed algorithm for the development of a controlled list of autochthones of the established geographical area. The purpose of the development is to identify grape varieties that can be appropriately attributed to the autochthones of a particular agroterritory. It is expedient to study the grape varieties included in the developed list of autochthones as a source of raw materials for the creation of proactive functional products, with their unique nutrient composition, in demand, taking into account the declared classification of the human condition, with existing signs of health deviation. The proposed methods for classifying grape varieties differ from the generally accepted ones in that they use actual data on the timing of the start of cultivation, the area occupied and the gross harvest of grapes in the area with an assessment of the zoning of the agroterritory according to edaphoclimatic factors and the biological characteristics of cultivated grape varieties. Information from the State Register of Breeding Achievements is taken into account, according to which the declared variety can be included in the controlled list of autochthons of this particular climatic zone. The variety of scientific material and current regulations used in the study determined the basic principles for the development of a controlled list of autochthonous grape varieties traditionally cultivated in geographical areas with a unique climate, within the borders of the Russian state.
