However towards the late 19th century, Blaufränkisch (Kékfrankos) and the Bordeaux varieties replaced the traditional Tokaj and Eger varieties following a hard-hitting epidemic phylloxera. The traditional varieties regained popularity in 1989 following the cultivation of modern grapes such as Zweigelt.
