Court stops rules for wine hills

130

A high court makes a decision. It is about names for wine hills. People call them Rieden. A group decides about the wine hills before. The group is the Wein-Komitee.

The group decides which wine hill is very good. These wines get the name Erste Lage. Many wine farmers complain. They think the rules are unfair.

The court helps the wine farmers. The Wein-Komitee has too much power. It works like an office. But the law does not allow this. A minister cannot check the work.

This breaks the law of the state. The old law is not enough. The court deletes the rules now. The Landwirtschafts-Minister must make a new law fast.

The Rechnungs-Hof criticizes the wine law too. The check of the quality must be better. All wine farmers must help decide.
