Lavaux tourism booms but wine makers in the Unesco heritage site struggle to make a living
The Lavaux vineyards have been part of the Unesco World Heritage Programme since 2007.

The designation has helped to boost visitor numbers by about 30 per cent, but the vineyards the Unesco label is supposed to protect are struggling to survive. (Julie Hunt, swissinfo.ch)
