Gumpoldskirchen

The municipality is located in the Lower Austrian wine-growing region of Thermenregion near Vienna. Until 1985, Gumpoldskirchen was an independent wine-growing region alongside Bad Vöslau. Even the Romans recognised the optimal conditions for viticulture here in ancient times. The village was mentioned in documents as early as 1120, when the eponymous Gumpold von Pornheim gave his nephew Sigeboto vineyards here.

Permission for wine taverns

In 1380, Duke Albrecht III (1349-1395) granted the citizens of Gumpoldskirchen the right, known as Leitgeben, to sell and serve their wine in the village. Later, the exact regulations for serving wine were laid down. In 1784, Emperor Joseph II (1741-1790) confirmed the right of the wine tavern owners and thus laid the foundations for the wine taverns, of which there are many in this municipality today.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
