Article Switzerlands Wines - Annette Dekker

This article is about the wine market in Switzerland. In total Switzerland has about 14.500 hectares of vineyards. This might not be as much as the leader in the amount of wineyards: Spain with 1.113.000 hectares. Most wines in Switzerland are produced for their own market, niche markets such as the US and UK still do import Swiss wines. The four biggest swiss wine regions are: Geneva, Ticino, Valais and Vaud. The best known white grape in Switzerland is the Chasselas and the best known red grape is the Gamay and the Pinot Noir. Most Swiss wines are blends but also available as varietals.
I think that this is a really nice and interesting article about the wines in Switzerland. Especially when the book we did our research about is also from the great sommelier: Thérèse Boer.
