In almost every village one can notice at least one house with the symbols of gape and grapevine. This particular predilection of adornment stands proof of the importance of viticulture in the everyday life of the peasants living in this area. The diversity of representations is quite impressive: grapevine shoot on the front-gabled houses, grapes or simple leaves between the windows, the ancestral symbol of the tree of life covered in grapes and grapevine leaves etc.

The importance of the craft and science of growing grapes and making wine was also recognized on a higher level, that of the entire community, through the usage of the grape and grapevine symbols, together with other icons, on the coats of arms of various human settlements, such as: Mediaș, Axente Sever, Micăsasa, Valea Viilor, Dumbrăveni, Ațel, Biertan, Copșa Mică.
