19/01/2010 by Ellen Wallace

When it comes to wine and food, a name is not just a name Switzerland has had AOCs for a while now, but on 14 January 2010, the Swiss federal agriculture office, OFAG, published an official bulletin containing a list of approximately 800 appellations of origin and geographical indications, roughly the equivalent of the French […]
