Switzerland wine writing

The Landscape of Swiss Wine book cover

A posthumous offering from a wine writer who really cared about Swiss wine. See this guide to our book reviews.

The Landscape of Swiss Wine
A wine-lover’s tour of Switzerland
Sue Style
Published by Bergli Books
ISBN 9783038690733
34.90 Swiss francs, $44, £34
