Germany
Germany has about 100,000 hectares (240,000 acres) of vineyards. About 81% of this area is planted in white grape varieties; only 19% in red grape varieties. By contrast, the worldwide ratio of white to red wine cultivation is almost exactly the opposite.
Grape Variety and the Label If at least 85% of a wine is made from one kind of grape, the name of the variety may be indicated on the label. This tells you what to expect with regard to the colour, taste, aroma and acidity of the wine.
