I was told it had changed, but I'm pretty sure it's still 16. Has it changed? I know it varies from kanton to kanton - I'm mainly worried about Basel and Aargau. Is beer and wine still 16? Thanks!

  1. Hi

    Switzerland 16 for wine, beer and cider

    16-18 (varies from canton to canton) for spirits & spirit-based beverages ie. alcopops

    Switzerland prohibits minors to buy alcohol, but there is no age restriction for the consumption of alcohol. Wine, beer and ciders as well as some other party drinks can be purchased by the age of 16. Spirits as well as alcopops can be sold only to people above the age of 18. If a shop fails to request an ID from the customers, it can be fined.

    Cheers.


  2. Beer and wine is still 16.  No change.
