Did some more digging.
First, Supersuk x Raisin Pie has been registered as Paph. Hsinying Alien.
Secondly, the label as written is not clear. Two possible interpretations:
Paph. ([Supersuk x Raisin Pie] x sib) = (Hsinying Alien x sib).
Paph. (Supersuk x [Raisin Pie x sib]) = Hsinying Alien.
Lastly, I drilled down into the family tree. With Paph. sukhakulii on both sides, I would expect more spots on petals; but that is never a certainty.
The only possible source of vinicolor comes from Paph. callosum. That species only appears in the Paph. Clarissa family tree. When I looked up that hybrid, I found 5 clones with AOS awards, and 1 of those is indeed a vinicolor.
