The Lower Austria Landesin award is considered the largest independent wine competition in the country and comprises more than 5,500 submissions in 24 categories. The variety of wines extends from quiet and tingling to classic and strong to mature wines and rosé. This wide range illustrates the high quality and the great variety of Lower Austrian viticulture.

Overall, viticulture in Lower Austria is not only a cultural heritage, but also an important economic factor. The Weingartengrund survey regularly provides comprehensive data on the number of operations, size structure and cultivation areas, which are important for one of the most important sectors in Austrian agriculture. This data is updated at regular intervals and help to promote viticulture sustainably and to develop it further. According to statistics.at, a change in the wine-growing cadastre on an Invekos-Base will be sought in the future.

The Lower Austria Wine President Reinhard Zöchmann and the incumbent Lower Austria Wine Queen Laura Hummel underline the relevance of events such as the Lower Austria Weingala and the Lower Austria winner Tasting not only for the winemakers, but also for the wine lovers and the entire region.
