Heuriger es el nombre dado a muchos locales de Austria en los que se sirve vino y los patrones (son viticultores) permiten que la gente en el local pueda experimentar Gemütlichkeit (Sentirse cómodo). Antiguamente se vendía en estos locales el vino elaborado del año. Esta costumbre hace que el nombre Heurig que significa en este año (empleado como adjetivo: heuer) en idioma alemán austriaco forma la palabra que se emplea hoy en día para estos locales: Heuriger.

Heuriger (German pronunciation: [ˈhɔʏʁɪɡɐ]; Austrian dialect pronunciation: Heiriga) is the name given to a tavern in Eastern Austria, where a local winemaker serves his new wine under a special licence in alternate months during the growing season. The Heurige are renowned for their atmosphere of Gemütlichkeit shared among a throng enjoying young wine, simple food, and - in some places - Schrammelmusik. They correspond to the Straußwirtschaften in the German Rheinland. Both have a bush of pine twigs hanging at the entrance when they are open. Heuriger is the abbreviation of "heuriger Wein" (this year's wine) in Austrian and Bavarian German. Originally, it was a simple open-air tavern on the premises of winemakers, where people would bring along food and drink the new wine. Nowadays, the taverns are often situated at a distance of the wineyards and offer both food and drinks. Heurige where apple or pear cider is served are called a Mostheurige. In the well-known wine-growing areas of the city of Vienna (Grinzing, Sievering, Neustift) many eating establishments have a rustic interior design similar to Heurige, yet they have a normal licence and sell wine they buy from outside sources.
