Most winemakers are very proud of the wines they produce. Winemakers keep an eye on their wines just like parents do their children.<\/p>\n<p>In brief, the Wine-Searcher article is about how the Swiss Air Force aerobatic team celebrated its 50<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary by giving their staff Italian wine. Obviously some if not all of the Swiss industry has been offended.\u00a0 Click the link to the article and find out what wine was given to the Swiss staff and the reaction.<\/p>\n<p>For me, I\u2019ll have to ponder visiting Switzerland again. I think it would be a wonderful experience to taste and write about the grape varieties and the wineries of Switzerland.
