Next to Bergland (Carinthia, Upper Austria, Salzburg, Tyrol, Vorarlberg) and Steirerland (Styria) the third Austrian wine-growing region. With about 90% of Austria's total area, it is by far the largest. It includes the vineyards of the three generic wine-growing regions Burgenland, Lower Austria and Vienna (until 2009 a separate wine-growing region). The designation applies to Landwein from the three federal provinces.

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.
