Special measures post-2011 large harvest

BERN, SWITZERLAND – Swiss wines, in particular white wines, are suddenly all the rage at home, with total

wine consumption for Switzerland rising in 2013 by some 10 percent, most of that due to higher consumption of Swiss wines.

Sales and consumption of foreign wines fell by 4 million litres.

Swiss wine stocks were down by close to 10 percent on 31 December, with the production of Swiss white wine falling by 20 percent last year and red wine production down by 12 percent.
