RomanDuVin.ch is a monthly magazine specialized on the world of the wine in Swiss French. Inaugurated on April 5th 2005, it was elaborated further to a series of observations made by its chief editor during a university work dealing with the tasting and with his vocabulary in the Hispanic countries. This one realized that:

While for French, American or Spanish wines, a plentiful documentation is on internet at disposal of the curious, as regards the Helvetian vine growing, there is no interesting and independent platform of French-speaking Switzerland.

As regards the literature on the subject, bookshops propose almost only works written by foreign authors who, or know anything in the situation of the regional vineyard, or lose interest in it under pretext that they do not find our wines in their country of origin.

As regards the too rare evocations of the Swiss wine in the media or the publishing, they have difficulty in interesting a public of non-specialists and ignore that, in our time, the consumers, do not see any more the wine as a simple drink, but as the symbol of an art to live and on a culture. Without counting that most of them result from bodies of promotion and reflect more the concerns of these entities than they satisfy the curiosity of the reader.

Further to this absence of adapted documents, the public, the foreigner as well as native, considers that the Swiss wine is " without history(ies) ". Now nothing more wrong, the national vine growing made amazing progress these last decades. Without counting that it possesses traditions and sometimes vintage wines unique in the world, which give up not at all to those of their prestigious nearby.

RomanDuVin.ch embodies this will to rehabilitate this vine growing of French-speaking Switzerland " without history(ies) ". By presenting the traditions, the progress as well as the innovations of this vineyard Helvetian, but also its erring ways or its lapse, our website wishes to integrate into the circle of the amateurs of the Swiss wine these more feminine, younger public, and less wealthy, traditionally forgotten.
