“Carneficionados” are producers and customers who pay attention to animal-friendly and climate-friendly production when consuming meat. “Ruthlessly local” means we only use ingredients from the region. And with the latest cooking style, “Wild Food,” guests are served only foods that are available in season. Local and sustainable indulgence has long been a megatrend in the food and beverage industry, which has received an additional boost from the pandemic. Functioning local supply chains have become increasingly important in recent years. Hand in hand: Nothing beats the traditional dishes from Grosi’s kitchen!

wine wonderland

This welcome development is finally reflected in the wine industry. While it used to be considered chic to uncork a Burgundy with Züri-Gschnätzlets or a bottle of Chianti Classico with risotto, today more and more wine connoisseurs are turning to Swiss wines. There are many reasons for this, because there is no other country with so many varieties and varieties of grapes in such a small area as our Alpine republic. Whether the delicious Zurich “Blauburgunder”, the full-bodied Grisons “Completer”, the elegant Ticino “Merlot”, the spicy-sweet Valais “Amigne de Vétroz” or the powerful Geneva “Gamaret”: Switzerland has something to offer and suits every taste. , presents itself for longer than a real wine wonderland!

Quality has a price

Those who rely on sustainable production usually do so with conviction and are willing to pay a reasonable price for it. Due to the generally high wages, land and grape prices, it is simply not possible for Swiss wine producers to compete in terms of bottle prices with, for example, large producers from the Spanish or Portuguese wine regions. Moreover, there are vineyards in Switzerland where machine harvesting is impossible. For example, all wines bearing the “Pro Montagna” label come directly from farmers in the mountains and are processed there. By purchasing labeled products, the consumer decides to consciously contribute to the promotion of mountain farmers and their particular Alpine and mountain specialties.

In Coop’s extensive wine range you can have a wide selection of Swiss wines in all styles and price categories.
