Dutch wine (Template:Langx) is wine made in the Netherlands. Although a small producer of wine, it is nowadays a strong growing branch of Dutch agriculture. Currently, the country has 180 commercial vineyards.[1][2]

History

It is assumed that Romans who were used to bring their crops along with them could have successfully planted grapevine in Maastricht, called Traiectum ad Mosam.

The first mentioning of viniculture in what is now the Netherlands dates back to 968.

Modern production of wine was started in the 1970s.[3]
