The Decision implements the cantonal wine ordinance by assigning enforcement to the agricultural authority, which is responsible for authorising new vineyard plantings and maintaining the vineyard register, and by setting detailed rules for the Controlled Designation of Origin (AOC Appenzell Innerrhoden). It establishes the official list of permitted grape varieties, the required minimum natural sugar levels for wines eligible for the AOC label, the maximum yields per square metre for each variety, and additional wine‑specific definitions.
