The tasks of the Austrian Wine Marketing Board include the compilation of all available data and facts related to Austrian wine on a regular basis and the detailed presentation to all users at home and abroad. Thereby, we regularly face unexpected difficulties. Many figures date back to the last survey of vineyards in 1999. Since then, the structure of the Austrian wine business has changed significantly. The number of wineries has markedly decreased while the average cultivated area per winery has significantly increased. Furthermore, the range of grape varieties has considerably changed due to supporting restructuring measures. After all, the percentage of red wine has gone up to more than one third.
A new survey of vineyards is planned within the next few months, so that an improved data material can be expected for the documentation for 2010. Meanwhile, we have tried to achieve a somewhat realistic picture by incorporating existing data on completed restructuring measures. Nevertheless, this method involves certain discrepancies.
