Negra Modelo is one of the few mass-made Vienna-style lagers, period.
The style has nearly disappeared from Austrian brewing. Vienna's
remaining big production brewery, Ottakringer, markets a "Schnitt,"
which is sorta like an old-style Vienna lager, but is actually a blend
of their pale and dark lagers. Their "Zwickl rot" is a red unfiltered
lager that is something like a rustic, yeasty version of a Vienna lager.

Otherwise, revivalist Vienna lagers are pretty much the domain of small
specialist brewers, particularly Vienna's Siebenstern and Salm brewpubs.
