The predecessor of the association in Austrian Styria(Austria) was the "Styrian Wine" market association founded in 1987. The aim was to market Styrian wine as a globally unique rarity. The trademark was the Styrian bouteille with an embossed panther (regional heraldic animal) on the capsule at the neck of the bottle. A wine brand founded by the market community in 1995 was Steirischer Junker.

In 2015, the general assembly of the Styrian Wine Community decided to merge the regional "Styrian Wine Committee" and the market community "Styrian Wine" to form "Wein Steiermark" and a marketing level. Styrian businesses are supported in the marketing of quality wines.
