Abstract: Based on analysis of the climate data of selected 96 meteorological stations in past 30 years , the climatic regions suitable for wine2grape growing in Huabei Regions were studied. The results of Comparison among different indices for climatic zoning showed that the sum of active temperature
above 10 ℃during growing season ( ΣTa) proved to be a proper major index , and the hydrothermal coefficient from August to September (K value) - proved to be a proper secondary index of climatic zoning for viticulture in Huabei regions , China. Using these indices with modified criterion , whole
Huabei Regions including Hebei , Shanxi , Inner Mongolia , Beijing and Tianjin were divided into four climatic regions : Very cool region , Cool region , Moderately warm region , and Warm region. Each region was divided into three sub2regions according to the K value : very dry sub2region , dry subre2
gion , and wet sub2region. The status and potentials of wine2grape growing and winemaking for each climatic region was evaluated. The development orientation of wine viticulture and proper grape varieties for each region were suggested.

Key words: Huabei regions, Wine grapes, Climatic zoning, Indices of heat amount, Hydrothermal coefficient, Viticulture
