On August 17, 1784, Austrian Emperor Joseph II issued the decree that permitted all residents to open establishments to sell and serve wine. Today, of course, Heurigen are regulated by Austrian state governments like Vienna, Lower Austria, Burgenland and Steiermark.
Well-known areas for Heurigen are Grinzing, Sievering, Neustift am Walde, Perchtoldsdorf, Gumpoldskirchen, Dürnstein, Rust, Königstetten, Gamlitz, and Kitzeck.
Another variation of Heuriger is called Mostheuriger, where apple or pear cider is also served.
Similar establishments also exist in other German-speaking areas of wine production, sometimes called Buschenschank, Straußen- or Besenwirtschaft or also Heckenwirtschaft.
