The topsy-turvey weather is wreaking havoc with vineyards.
The combination of early warmth and then the return to frosts is set to reduce harvests by as much as 80% - growers already know this year will be a bad year.
The summery weather earlier this month triggered growth – but the more recent cold weather is damaging the buds.
The worst hit farms are in cantons Geneva and Valais – so far Vaud has been spared. One grower told the press that the lake effect is helping at the moment – but they remain very worried.
Farmers say the next two weeks will be crucial.
