The Gojer family then exported this wine to Switzerland in barrels right up until the 1970s. Franz Gojer’s takeover of the family business in 1983 coincided with the collapse of the market for St. Magdalener wine in Switzerland. Since then, the Gojer family has gradually turned to bottling and privately selling their entire wine production.</dd></dl>
