Denmark is one of the three countries that make up Scandinavia (Norway and Sweden are the other two, Finland and Iceland are the other Nordic countries). The vast majority of alcoholic beverages produced in Denmark are beers. Ciders and similar products, as well as spirits, are also produced. The wine industry is in its infancy.
The country is wedged between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, at an average latitude of 56 degrees north. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Danish vines were often located in greenhouses, or sometimes climbed on south-facing walls that kept the heat in during the night. Wine production was illegal anyway until 1999.

A number of vineyards have been established in Jutland and on the islands of Zealand and Funen.
The most important of these, in terms of Volume produced, is the Dyrehøjgaard winery and distillery, which houses the Røs brand. It was founded by Tom Christensen in 2007 in Røsnaes, the westernmost tip of Zealand.
In addition, Sven Møsgaard's winery Skaersøgaard, located near the city of Aarhus in Jutland, has received international recognition for several wines.
