	Abstract: The current global warming causes changes in traditional zones of viticulture worldwide. Poland becomes a country where there are more and more vineyards. The purpose of this work was to characterize vineyards in Poland and indicate in which vineyards there is a possibility of a precise characterization of mesoclimate. A database on  the viticulture in Poland created on the basis of information from the Internet. A map was also created, presenting the distribution of vineyards and meteorological stations of the IMGW-PIB. Polygons with a radius of 30 km were designated, constituting the locational criterion for the precise characterization of mesoclimate. A map was prepared to present vineyards’ distribution and Poland’s land relief. There are 397 Polish vineyards in the data base. Above 82% of them are located within a radius of 30 km from the nearest meteorological station and most of them (94%) are located to 400 meters above sea level and in river valleys. A favourable location in terms of the exposure and inclination of the slope characterizes respectively 58% and 45% of vineyards.
