Abstract :Wine grapes are adapted to a wide range of climate; the best production occurs in regions that meet certain specific climatic conditions. Temperatures during the growing season can af-fect grape quality and viability. Beneficial climatic conditions will improve the wine’s quality. In this study it was aimed that to determine suitable wine grape varieties for the cultivation in some areas of Aegean Region with related to climate requirements. For this reason, long-term climatic data were collected by meteorological stations including Güney, Çal, Menderes, Se-ferihisar and Urla. In this study heliotermic and hdyrothermic indices were calculated and evaluated for appropriate viticultural practice in this region. It was found that Alicante Bouschet, Carignan, Cabernet Sauvignon in İzmir and Çalkarası, Öküzgözü, Boğazkere, Kal-ecik Karası, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonay can be adapted and grown well in terms of climatic conditions in Denizli respectively.
