Bohemia (Cechy in Czech) of Czech Republic is one of the most northern regions of viniculture in Europe. It was established Long before the expansion of Moravia, but despite this headstart it now accounts for less than five percent of the Czech Republic's annual wine production. Bohemia's position in the Czech wine industry is now largely ceremonial as it covers the picturesque, traditional, historic end of production, leaving the Moravia region to churn out many millions of gallons of wine each year. Bohemia is divided into the two sub-regions of Melnická and Litomerická with a majority of Vineyards concentrated around river systems, especially in the valleys of Vltava, Labe, Berounka and Ohre.
