Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, located in the arid region, as the largest region in China, is characterized by rich radiation and sharp temperature variation between day and night. It is the largest region of table and wine grape production in China. Based on the climate data of 102 meteorological stations in the past 30 years(1979—2008), the viticultural climatic zoning in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is discussed and this region is zoned in this paper, by using the number of Frost Free Days as the first index, the Dryness Index (from April to September) as the secondary index and the mean lowest temperature below -15℃ as the tertiary index. The results show that the whole area of Xinjiang can be divided into an unsuitable region and a suitable region for viticulture, and the suitable region can be further divided into two high quality zones and two quality zones.
