Amy Eber suggests ringing in the New Year with a reasonably priced, Swiss-produced alternative to French champagne and Italian prosecco. She discovered Mauler while at Expovina.

Mauler is located in Môtiers-Neuchâtel. In the sixth century, monks from Burgundy, France, immigrated to this area and it became a very important religious center. The Benedictine monks were skilled wine producers and Mauler is  located on the site of an old Benedictine cloister complete with original cellars and old vaults which are still in use. The Mauler family has been producing wine there since 1829.
