## Abstract

The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) establishes the approximately 12,897-square mile "Loess Hills District" viticultural area in western Iowa and northwestern Missouri. This new viticultural area is not located within any other viticultural area. TTB designates viticultural areas to allow vintners to better describe the origin of their wines and to allow consumers to better identify wines they may purchase.
