  • Swiss Wine Harvest Rebounds, 2025 Vintage Rated Excellent

    SWI swissinfo.ch reports that Swiss winegrowers are calling the 2025 vintage “excellent” thanks to favourable weather, with total harvest volume rising to 82 million litres, up 9.3% year on year, though still below the 10 year average of 90 million litres, according to Switzerland’s Federal Office for Agriculture. The report says the season began dry and mild with good flowering, then an earlier harvest was affected at times by rain in late August and September. Output varied by region, German speaking Switzerland saw the biggest jump to 13.7 million litres, western Switzerland rose to 64.4 million litres, while Italian speaking Switzerland fell to 3.4 million litres, partly linked to tough conditions and Japanese beetle impacts.
