Also for the first time, data from the e/isting .iticultural land registers of the wine0producing states 1 2urgenland, Nieder3sterreich (4ower Austria), Steiermar5 (Styria) and W ien (6ienna) 1 were included and analysed as secondary statistics. The organisation 8Statistics Austria9 (Austrian Central Statistical Office) o tained the data of the other states y conducting a written sur.ey of the .ineyard owners. 2ased on this sur.ey of the area under .ines of 1999, it was determined that Austria had an acreage of 52,000 ha to grow .ines in 2007. This showed an increase of 4,000 ha in the .ineyard acreage from 1999 to 2007. W hile the acreage for growing white wines decreased y 15 percent to 35,609.87 ha since 1999, the acreage for red wine increased y 35.2 percent to 16,699.91 ha. Among the reasons for the decrease in .ineyard area were .ine remo.als in accordance with EU .ine pulling schemes and national reser.e campaigns as well as losses due to frost damage. The 1999 amendment to the wine law created a new wine0growing region called 8W einland Austria9. The ad.antage lies in the fact that wines from Nieder3sterreich and 2urgenland, a large area e.en y European standards, can now e used for the production of 4andwein. The 2002 amendment also changed the wine region Steiermar5>s name to 8Steirerland9. There are currently 4 wine0growing regions and 19 wine0growing areas defined in Austria. The four wine0growing regions are defined as W einland ?sterreich (including the states of Nieder3sterreich and 2urgenland), Steirerland (that is the state Steiermar5), W ien, and 2ergland ?sterreich (including the states O er3sterreich (Upper Austria), Salz urg, ABrnten (Carinthia), Tirol (Tyrol), and 6orarl erg).
