Regions

#### Wine Regions of Germany

With the exception of Saale-Unstrut and Sachsen in the East, Germany’s wine growing regions are mostly concentrated in the south where the weather is slightly warmer.

Moderate summer temperatures produce wines that are relatively low in alcohol, and the diversity of German wine stems from the many soil types and grape varieties found throughout Germany’s 13 wine-growing regions.
