Cellars and Heurigen-areas in Vienna
In Vienna 1300 inns, wine- and beerrestaurants existed in
the 19th century. The consumption of wine decreased by virtue of the competition
of beer down to 57 liters per man and year, however this quantity still is
remarkable. Many taverns and winecellars had a bad reputation, the wine-cellars
of the convents had a good reputation, who had a good quality of wine. The
Heurigen and wine-cellars were under strong regulation by the administration (Magistrat).
Selling wine was allowed from 9am to 9pm. (in summer to 10pm) only white wine or
claret, the only food sold was bread, cheeses and radish; Separees, games and
accommodation were forbidden. Besides a maximum price was determined for wine.
In 1808 the regulation (Kellerschankordnung) was loosened.
Worth mentioning is the Tirolerkeller at the square Bürgerspitalplatz,
where in 1809 the Tyrolean freedomfighter Andreas Hofer was sitting. A further
Tirolerkeller was at the square Fleischmarkt and well known for their ladies.
