The biggest drop was in imported white wine (-14%), followed by imported red wine (-8%). Consumption of Swiss red wine (+0.5%) rose the most followed by Swiss white wines (+0.2%).
Big drivers of falling wine consumption were the closure of bars and restaurants and restrictions on gathering. These measures cut an estimated 15 million litres from the amount of wine consumed (-5.9%) in Switzerland in 2020.

Bern covered the difference between the price of 7.1 million litres of AOC certified wine and table wine effectively providing local wine drinkers with high quality wine at bargain prices.
