Half of the 15 Swiss wines in the “Kassensturz” test contain five or more pesticides.
Author: Adrian Zehnder
The sample includes popular Swiss wines from the retail trade: five whites, one rosé and, above all, red wines from the major Swiss growing areas, made with the typical grape varieties Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder) or Merlot. Chasselas dominates the white wine. These varieties are considered pesticide intensive. The wines cost between 7.50 and 22 francs.
