    1. Vineyard areas and areas under vine by grape variety Austrian Wine statistics report 1.2 Vineyard areas and areas under vine by grape variety 2 The data in this section is based on the 2015 Survey of Area under Vine, as well as feedback from the wine-producing federal states of Niederösterreich (Lower Austria), Burgenland, Steiermark (Styria) and Wien (Vienna). The main source of data for the 2015 Survey of Area under Vine was the Wein-ONLINE system operated by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management (BMNT). Data from the remaining federal states was collected by means of a questionnaire (primary data collection). Information relating to the (approved) nurseries was provided by the Burgenland and Lower Austrian Chambers of Agriculture and the Styrian state government (Agricultural Research Centre). According to the 2015 Survey of Area under Vine, Austria’s vineyards occupied 45,574 hectares. The planted vineyard area was 45,439 ha, which corresponds to 94 ha less (or a 0.2% decrease) in comparison to the 2009 Survey of Area under Vine. The long-running trend that suggested a shift away from white wine and towards red was quashed by the 2015 Survey of Area under Vine. While the white wine vineyard area increased by 2.3% to 30,502 ha compared to 2009, the red wine area decreased by 4.9% to 14,937 ha. Figure 1 shows the evolution of Austrian viticulture after the Second World War. The largest area under vine was recorded in 1980 at 59,432 ha. From 1980 onwards, the white wine vineyard area has continuously decreased, while the red wine vineyard area has expanded.

  • Austrian Wines AUSTRIAN WINE with ASIAN Cuisines Discover Europe’S Best Kept Secret!
    guide to AustriAn Wines AUSTRIAN WINE WITH ASIAN CUISINES Discover EuRope’S Best Kept Secret! Austria is home to some of the most famous musicians in the world: Mozart, Schubert, Strauss, Liszt and others. It also offers a rich cultural heritage, the Imperial Palace in Vienna, palaces and castles around the country – all situated in one of the cleanest environments that also has the clearest waters, right in the centre of Europe. Welcome to Austria! We would like to invite you to Austria, enjoy our culture and relax in the city or in the mountains. Austria can offer so much. We are especially proud of our wine industry, which has more than a few thousand years of history. Today, it is also one of the most dynamic wine industries in the world. Situated at the same latitude as Burgundy in France (47-48°north) we are able to produce one of the finest white and most elegant red wines of the world. Besides international grape varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and more… we are also extremely proud of our own indigenous varieties – Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Rotgipfler, Zweigelt, St. Laurent and Blaufränkisch. Due to our climate and the varieties, our wines are amazing food companions with many dishes. This includes classical European cuisine as well as most of the Asian dishes, whether from China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia or other countries in the region. Many restaurants in Singapore have discovered these unique wines and have introduced a good range of our national treasures in their wine lists.

Volta 13B, 39100 Bozen-Bolzano, Italy * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0471-017691 Received: 29 October 2020; Accepted: 28 November 2020; Published: 1 December 2020 Abstract: Targeted and untargeted determinations are being currently applied to different classes of natural phenolics to develop an integrated approach aimed at ensuring compliance to regulatory prescriptions related to specific quality parameters of wine production. The regulations are particularly severe for wine and include various aspects of the viticulture practices and winemaking techniques. Nevertheless, the use of phenolic profiles for quality control is still fragmented and incomplete, even if they are a promising tool for quality evaluation. Only a few methods have been already validated and widely applied, and an integrated approach is in fact still missing because of the complex dependence of the chemical profile of wine on many viticultural and enological factors, which have not been clarified yet. For example, there is a lack of studies about the phenolic composition in relation to the wine authenticity of white and especially rosé wines. This review is a bibliographic account on the approaches based on phenolic species that have been developed for the evaluation of wine quality and frauds, from the grape varieties (of V.

GRAPEVINE VARIETY Jan REŠČIČ *, Maja MIKULIČ-PETKOVŠEK, Franci ŠTAMPAR , Anka ZUPAN and Denis RUSJAN 1 Chair for Fruit Growing, Viticulture and Vegetable Growing, Agronomy Department, Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Jamnikarjeva 101, SI-1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia Abstract Résumé Aim : Two different yield reductions based on cluster Objectif : Deux réductions de rendement par éclaircissage thinning (CT) were performed to determine their impact on ont été effectuées afin de déterminer leur incidence sur la vine growth, yield, and grape and wine composition of croissance et le rendement des plantes ainsi que sur la ‘Blauer Portugieser’ grapevine variety. composition du raisin et du vin de la variété ‘Portugais Bleu’. Methods and results : Two levels of cluster thinning (limited CT1 – 20-30 % and severe CT2 – 40-50 % cluster Méthodes et résultats : Deux niveaux d’éclaircissage reduction) were applied at the pea-size berry (BBCH 75) (réduction de grappe limitée CT1 – 20-30 % et intense CT2 phenological stage in 2007, 2008 and 2011. The potential – 40-50 %) ont été effectués au stade phénologique BBCH impact of CT was determined by measurements of vine 75 (grains de la taille d’un petit pois) en 2007, 2008 et growth and fertility potential, berry weight, berry colour, 2011. L’ incidence potentielle de l’éclaircissage a été soluble solids content, titratable acidity, pH and total déterminée par des mesures du potentiel de croissance et de phenolics. Additionally, for the first time, individual fertilité des plantes ainsi que du poids et de la couleur des phenolic compounds were identified and quantified in berry baies, de la concentration en solides solubles, de l’acidité skin and wine by HPLC-MS.
