Art. 63 AgricA from 2023

Art. 63 ⁽¹⁾ Classification

¹ Wines are divided into the following classes:

² The Federal Council shall draw up a list of the criteria governing the classification of wines with an appellation d’origine contrôlée and domestic wines. It may stipulate a minimum level of natural sugar content and a maximum yield per unit of land area, taking into account the production conditions specific to a given area.

³ Otherwise, the cantonal authorities shall set out the requirements for each criterion with regard to wines with an appellation d’origine contrôlée and domestic wines produced within their borders and under their own traditional designation.

⁴ The Federal Council shall stipulate the requirements concerning domestic wines that are sold without a traditional designation and for table wines. It may define the terms relating specifically to wine, in particular traditional terms, and stipulate their use.

⁵ It shall draw up regulations for the declassification of wines that do not meet the minimum requirements.

⁶ The terms of Article 16 paragraphs 6, 6^bis, 7 and 16b apply to the labelling of wines with an appellation d’origine contrôlée and of other wines with geographical indications.
