    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.

      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.
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

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

            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 ?
            If UKIP are the answer, then it must have been a very stupid question.
