Which region is NOT one of Austria's major wine areas?

Burgenland
Niederosterreich
Bavaria
Steiermark

The correct answer is: Bavaria

Bavaria is not one of Austria's major wine areas because it is actually a region in Germany, not Austria. Austria is known for its distinct wine regions such as Burgenland, which is renowned for its sweet wines and rich reds; Niederösterreich (Lower Austria), which is the largest wine-growing region and includes famous areas like Wachau and Kamptal; and Steiermark (Styria), known for its aromatic white wines and distinct terroirs. Each of these regions contributes significantly to Austria's wine identity through unique grape varieties and styles.
