At present, advertising for beer and wine in Switzerland is prohibited on all SRG stations and in the Swiss advertising windows of foreign television providers. However, local TV stations and private radio stations are allowed to advertise beer and wine. This legislation is contrary to the EU "Television without Frontiers" Directive.
