Common name in Switzerland (also Haida, Haidawein, Heiden, Heidenwein or french Païen = pagan) for the white grape variety Traminer (Savagnin Blanc) It is cultivated on vineyards at 1,100 metres above sea level between the two municipalities of Visp and Visperterminen in the canton of Valais, which are among the highest in Europe. The white wine speciality of the same name is pressed from it.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
