German wine regions are classified according to the quality category of the wine grown therein: Tafelwein, Landwein, Qualitätswein bestimmter Anbaugebiete (QbA) and Prädikatswein. The wine regions allowed to produce QbA and Prädikatswein are further subdivided into four categories according to size: Anbaugebiet (a major wine region), Bereich (a district within the wine region), Großlage (a collection of vineyards within a district) and Einzellage (a single vineyard). [1] A small number of Einzellagen do not belong to a Großlage and are called "großlagenfrei", but all belong to a Bereich and Anbaugebiet.
The 13 major wine regions (Anbaugebiete) are Ahr, Baden, Franconia, Hessische Bergstraße, Mittelrhein, Mosel, Nahe, Palatinate, Rheingau, Rheinhessen, Saale-Unstrut, Saxony, and Württemberg. With the exceptions of Saxony and Saale-Unstrut, most of Germany's major wine regions are located in the western part of the country. As of 2010, there were 41 Bereiche, 160 Großlagen and 2,632 Einzellagen. [2]
In the Ahr there is 1 Bereich (in bold) and 1 Großlage. [3]
In the Baden there are 9 Bereiche (in bold) and 16 Großlagen. [4] [5]
In Franconia, also known as Franken, there are 3 Bereiche (in bold) and 22 Großlagen. 2 Einzellagen are großlagenfrei. [4]
In the Hessische Bergstraße there are 2 Bereiche (in bold) and 3 Großlagen. [4]
In the Mittelrhein there are 2 Bereiche (in bold) and 12 Großlagen. [3]
In the Mosel there are 6 Bereiche (in bold) and 19 Großlagen. [3]

In the Nahe there is 1 Bereich (in bold) and 7 Großlagen. [3]

In Württemberg there are 6 Bereiche (in bold) and 17 Großlagen. [4]
There are 4 main wine regions that produce German Tafelwein and 8 sub-regions. [6]
There are 20 wine regions that produce German Landwein. The Anbaugebiet where the region is located in is in parenthesei. [6]
