NAT is kicked out from Switzerland

Aren't vinyards usually on slopes and terraces?? No, I think it's simply a case of the amount produced. There isn't much left to export, as we drink it all here

Hmmm, not for the mass produced wines; they're usually on easy slopes. The other problem for the Swiss is that their terraces aren't long and straight, they're built to hugh a very steep slope, so they're narrow and short and allow only minimal mechanisation, if any; that makes it labour intensive, and labour is expensive in Switzerland.

A lot of it's very good indeed, but it's barely sold abroad due to high prices (it costs a lot of money to farm grapes on steep slopes and terraces).

I've always put it down to a lack of volume. The prices when I've bought it have always been reasonable compared to others, although that has always been in Switzerland as I've never seen a bottle outside.

Well, Swiss wine is generally pretty good so you can't blame them if they drink most of it themselves.

Well, actually, they don't. Cuckoo clocks come from the Black Forest.

Famous for one thing and they don't even do that.

I thought they made Gateau

It would be interesting to have some detail of how many there are and from which countries. Are they all well paid immigrants in the banking or do they suffer the droves of East European types after a free lunch?

What exactly do you mean? How can you say something so completely untrue?
All we can do in the face of such irrational accusations is to rise our eyebrows in disbelief. Stop debasing our humanity why are you doing this ?
