Description
Eurostat Dataset Id:vit_bs2
The domain VIT contains the results of surveys of areas under vines in statistical tables.
The data of the domain have been organised into two collections:
- vit_an contains all available data from annual intermediate surveys. These surveys collect only data on areas under vines of wine grape varieties.
- vit_bs includes the data collected via basic surveys every ten years. The scope of these surveys is the area under all type of vines.
Surveys on vineyards are used to collect information on vines and wine production in the Member States at different geographic levels (Member States and regions) and over time (follow up the changes); thus they provide basic information in framework of the common market organisation of wine.
The intermediate annual surveys cover the area under vines of wine grape varieties in the holdings and relate to changes which have taken place in that area during the preceding wine-growing year. Information regarding the following characteristics is available:
— area under vines for wine grape varieties,
— area under vines grubbed or no longer cultivated,
— area under vines replanted,
— area under vines newly planted.
All of these are broken down according to their normal use for the production of
— quality wines psr (produced in specific regions),
— other wines (including wines compulsorily intended for the manufacture of certain potable spirits obtained from wine with a registered designation of origin).
The areas under vines cultivated with wine grape varieties are also broken down into yield classes based upon the potential and (optionally) effective yield per hectare (hl/ha of grape must or wine).
The basic surveys cover all holdings having a cultivated area under vines normally intended for the production for sale of grapes, grape must, wine or vegetative propagation material for vines. Information regarding the following characteristics is available for each unit:
— agricultural area in use,
— area under vines cultivated; broken down according to its normal production into:
- area under wine grape varieties (separate the quality wines produced in special regions and the other wines),
- area under table grape varieties,
- area planted with root-stock for future grafting,
- area cultivated solely for production of vegetative propagation material for vines (subdivided into nurseries and parent vines for root-stock areas),
- area under grapes intended for drying (raisins).
The areas under vines cultivated with wine grape varieties as recorded in the basic surveys are broken down into yield classes based upon the potential and (optionally) effective yield per hectare (hl/ha of grape must or wine).
Data are available for different territorial breakdowns for each country (wine-growing regions). Data is available for the following EU Member States: Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Austria, Portugal, United Kingdom.
