Wine labelling in Switzerland has in the past been very much at the whim of the producer: wines have been labelled by place name, grape variety or a brand name. However, the laws controlling the wine industry are being updated in order to improve the competitiveness of Swiss wine, to make the income of producers more secure and to align Swiss legislation with that of the EC. For example, bottles are being standardized to contain 750ml (rather than 700ml), and terms such as "Grand Cru" and 'Grand Vin', which have no legal basis, are likely to be abolished. |
