Viennese Wine

No other city in the world has larger vineyards within its boundaries than Vienna. At almost 700 hectares, the area covered by vineyards in Vienna corresponds to the combined area of districts four, five, six and seven, these are four of the city's 23 administrative districts. Viticulture is an important economic factor for Vienna. The official register of vineyards or Rebflächenverzeichnis kept by the Vienna City Administration (Municipal Department 69 - Real Estate Management) comprises some 520 individual vineyards. About a third of them derive their primary income from wine production and retail in small, privately run wine taverns known as Buschenschanken. Most of the other producers grow vine on a part-time basis and equally sell their produce in Buschenschanken. The range is completed by 150 hobby vintners, some of which with vineyards measuring less than 1.000 square metres. These small vineyards are typically located in Vienna's 21st district. The approximately 350 vineyards run on a part-time basis or as a hobby provide work for some 2.500 people.
