One of the wealthiest countries in Europe (and the world), Switzerland is not so much switching from beer to wine as it is returning to it. The culture of winemaking and wine drinking here dates back to the times of ancient Rome.

Behind the facade of a highly expensive and seemingly exclusive drink are often small family growers who have cultivated their vineyards and made wine for generations.
Yes, Swiss wine is expensive. But unlike many global wine brands, much of what lies behind that price is not a vast marketing machine but small-scale production, costly manual work and people who know the value of their land and labour. Many remain deeply rooted in tradition and focused more on their vineyards and local customers than on international recognition or wine critics.
