Baden (wine region)

Vineyards in Ortenau, another district of Baden.

Baden is a region (Anbaugebiet) for quality wine in Germany,^[1] and is located in the historical region of Baden in southwestern Germany, which today forms part of the federal state of Baden-Württemberg. Under German wine legislation, Baden and Württemberg are separate wine regions.

With 15,906 hectares (39,300 acres) under vine in 2008, Baden is Germany's third largest wine region,^[2] but seems to be much less known on export markets in comparison to many smaller German regions, and in comparison to the neighbouring French region of Alsace, which is of similar size. Winemaking cooperatives are very common in Baden, number around 100, and are responsible for 85% of the region's production.^[3]
