Definition: Swiss Wine Industry Association (ISV)

The ISV is the first Swiss agricultural sector to set up a permanent platform for quantitative and qualitative information on its market. The French-speaking cantons and the Swiss Confederation support this initiative. Obsvin's data sources are diverse and highly complementary: they come from panels of major distributors and consumers, official statistics from the Swiss Confederation and the cantons, and figures provided by companies in the sector. They provide a reliable overview of the Swiss wine market and its development, enabling the development of a promising strategy for companies in the sector.

Today, the ISV is publishing the first edition of L'Observateur du vin, Obsvin's quarterly newsletter. This new publication is set to become the go-to source of information on the Swiss wine market, both for market players and anyone else with an interest in the sector.

L'Observateur du vin provides the first index of the Swiss wine market, the Swiss Wine Index, which shows the price trends of around 20 Swiss wine appellations over the last three years in supermarkets. This first issue also analyses imports of white and red wines in terms of value and volume, and sheds light on sales of white and red wines from Valais in large retailers. Finally, L'Observateur du vin details the consumption habits of Swiss consumers.

L'Observateur du vin is available from the ISV, Zeughausgasse 16, 3011 Bern.
