Radler (shandy, a blend of beer and lemonade) is a popular and refreshing drink that is always available and, having only 50% of the alcohol content of beer is probably a better choice at lunchtime. Apfelwein (cider) made from apples can also be found.

Austria is a major wine producing country, although almost all Austrian wine comes from the eastern part of the country, with little or no production in Tyrol. Most wine produced is white with Gruner Veltliner the most commonly used grape along with Riesling, Muller Thurgau, Weissburgunder and Rulander. Red wine, mostly produced from Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder) or Zweigelt (Rotburger) grapes, is growing in popularity. Imported, mostly Italian, wines are readily available and often cheaper than Austrian wine. This is not surprising as Italian wine producing regions are closer to Tyrol than Austrian vineyards. Wine can be bought by the bottle, or as house wine (offene weine) by the glass or carafe in sizes achtel (125ml), viertel (250ml), halbe (half litre) and litre.
