Austria's wine regions sit in the east and south of the country, where the climate swings between continental cold and Pannonian warmth. Niederösterreich alone accounts for more than half of Austrian production, and its sub-regions — Wachau, Kremstal, Kamptal — each shape Grüner Veltliner and Riesling differently. A single producer's six-bottle case is a practical way to move across those differences without choosing bottle by bottle.

Independent wine experts on Free Grape Society rate and review wines they have personally tasted. Their reviews sit on the wine pages and on each expert's own profile, so you can see which Austrian wines they have covered and what they found. Several of the experts listed here have reviewed wines from the Austrian producers on the platform.
Browse the Austrian wineries below and open any producer's page to see the wines they have listed. Add bottles to your basket and check out — the order goes directly to that producer's cellar, and they ship it to your door. Delivery takes between 4 and 14 days, with an average of around 8 to 9 days from despatch.
Send a photo to Free Grape Society customer support within 7 days of delivery. We will arrange a replacement or a refund. Because producers ship directly, quality issues are handled with the producer's direct involvement. Shared responsibility is built into how FGS works.
Yes. You can add wines from several Austrian producers to the same basket. Each producer ships their own wines separately from their own cellar, so you may receive more than one delivery. Each shipment is packed and despatched by the producer directly, with no central warehouse involved.
Average delivery is 8 to 9 days from order to door. The full range is 4 to 14 days depending on the producer's location and your delivery address. Wines ship directly from the producer's cellar, not from a central warehouse.
Start by region if you have a preference — Niederösterreich for Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, Burgenland for fuller reds and sweet wines, Steiermark for aromatic whites. Or browse by grape variety. Each producer's page describes how they work, what they grow, and which wines they have listed. If you are still unsure, use the wine-advice service and an independent wine expert can point you in the right direction.
Producers send samples, and those wines are tasted before any of them is listed. The process looks at how a producer works — whether they farm their own fruit, how they treat their land, and whether their prices are fair to both grower and buyer. Wines that are listed are then open to review by independent wine experts who rate bottles they have personally tasted.
Several independent wine experts on Free Grape Society have reviewed Austrian wines and can offer personal recommendations. Open any Austrian wine page to see expert reviews attached to that wine, or browse the wine experts listed on this page and read their profiles to find one whose background or region focus suits you. You can submit a question through the wine-advice form and an expert will respond.
A producer's full range can be large, and not every wine travels or stores well for direct shipment. The wines listed are the ones the producer has chosen to offer through Free Grape Society — typically their core range and any wines they are particularly proud of. If a wine you are looking for is not listed, you can ask through the wine-advice service and an expert may be able to help.
Yes. Free Grape Society operates as a direct-trade marketplace, so producers ship to customers in markets where state retail monopolies cover domestic sales. The wine is ordered through Free Grape Society and fulfilled by the producer from their own cellar, which is a different channel from domestic retail.

An Austrian wine case is six bottles from a single producer. Nothing is blended in from another cellar, so every bottle in the case comes from one estate's own range. A case from a Wachau producer might move you through a dry Grüner Veltliner and a couple of Riesling Smaragd bottlings, while one from a Burgenland estate could take you from a lighter Zweigelt into a fuller Blaufränkisch. You can explore the Austrian wines behind these boxes, or compare with wine cases from Italy and France to see how the format works across different wine cultures.
Austria's wine regions each pull in a different direction, and a single producer's box can be a compact introduction to one of them. Niederösterreich is the country's largest wine region, and home to the Wachau, the Kremstal and the Kamptal, all of which have built their reputations on Grüner Veltliner and Riesling grown on steep terraced slopes above the Danube. Burgenland runs warmer and is better known for red varieties: Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt and the occasional international blend. Steiermark sits in the south and leans white, with crisp, aromatic Sauvignon Blanc and Welschriesling. Because each six-bottle wine case here comes from one producer, the case you choose reflects where that grower farms and what they make in their own cellar, not a blend of cellars across the country.
Austria's most distinctive contribution to European wine is Grüner Veltliner, a white grape found almost nowhere else at any volume. In its lighter, younger form it is peppery and fresh; in Smaragd-classified bottlings from the Wachau it can be broad and age-worthy. Riesling is the second pillar of the country's white wine identity, and Austrian Riesling tends to be drier than German examples of the same variety. On the red side, Blaufränkisch is the grape with the most individual character: firm acidity, dark fruit and a spicy edge that makes it distinct from warmer-climate reds. Zweigelt, a crossing of Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent, is softer and more approachable and is widely planted across the country. Welschriesling, despite the name, is unrelated to Riesling and is used both as a dry table wine and as the base for some of Austria's best botrytised sweet wines. An Austrian wine case built around any of these varieties is a direct route into what makes the country's wine culture different from its neighbours.
