The wine-producing regions of Germany span over 250,000 acres of vineyards - about one tenth the total vineyard surface of either Spain, France, or Italy. Most German wine is produced in the southwest region of the country, along the Rhine River and its tributaries. Germany produces about 1.2 billion wine bottles every year, making it the eighth largest wine-producing country in the world. About two-thirds of the wines produced in Germany are white. There are thirteen wine-producing regions in Germany, including Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Pfalz, Rheingau, and Rheinhessen. Because of the unique climate and geological conditions, the wines produced in Germany are unlike any others in the world. Germany produces wine in many styles - dry, semi-sweet, and sweet white wines, as well as rosé, red and sparkling wines. Most are characterized as light, fruity, and low in alcohol, although there is no one uniform type or style.
In the past, German wine has earned a somewhat mixed reputation abroad. To many, Germany is best known as a source for cheap, mass-market semi-sweet wines, such as Liebfraumilch. Despite this, however, Germany produces some of the most elegant and aromatically pure white wines in the world. Many of its wines are of outstanding quality and make excellent gifts for wine lovers. The finest wines in Germany are made from the Riesling grape variety, and can usually be purchased at a reasonable price.
