Moselle wine

Moselle wines are mainly white and are made in some of the coldest climates used for commercial winemaking.

In France, in Lorraine around the city of Metz, about 1500 hectoliters of wine annually is produced as AOC Moselle.

In southeastern Luxembourg, along the country's 42 km river border with Germany, 1 290 hectares of vines are used to produce wine under the designation Appellation Contrôlée Moselle Luxembourgeoise.

Sparkling wine (Crémant de Luxembourg) makes up a significant portion of the production, but is a designation within AC Moselle Luxembourgeoise rather than a separate appellation, which is usually the case with French Crémants.

Mosel is one of 13 German wine-growing regions (Anbaugebiete) for quality wines, with 9 080 hectares under vine in 2005, and one of the most well-known.
