General term (also vineyard, Weingarten, Wengert, Wingert and many others) for an area planted with vines, possibly not further defined. This is also used in a romanticising way, because it does not necessarily have to be an elevation (mountain, hill). See attractive vineyards under highest vineyard and steepest vineyard as well as a complete list of relevant keywords under vineyard area.

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
