When you pronounce the word "wine", you immediately think of France, Italy, Spain, or new world wines, from the United States to Australia.
We do not think, of course, of Sweden.

Better still: the Swedish climate makes it possible to obtain fresh, tonic white wines, which is becoming more and more difficult in southern Europe because of global warming.
A prospect which encourages many young people to invest in the vineyard.
“When Swedish wine takes out of the bottle”, it is a Grand reportage by Frédéric Faux.
