Many people still believe that only Port wine and Madeira will be drunken in Portugal. But they are wrong. Of course, this sweet dessert wine is very famous and still very popular in Portugal and around the world. The Port wine comes from the lovely slopes of the Douro River east of Porto. But since a couple of years there are also excellent regular wines from that area – too precious to blend it as port wine.
The other very well-known wine is “Viñho Verde”, which is being cultivated in the region Minho in the north. This is a fresh and fruity white wine, which is an easy drinking wine, but also suitable as a good company for seafood.
The Portuguese were the first, who brought wine to America. Nowadays American wine magazines recommend 9 Portuguese wines, out of 100.
The Portuguese wine regions are: Viñho Verde, Trás-os-Montes, Porto & Douro, Távora & Varosa, Dão & Lafoes, Bairrada, Beira Interior, Lisbon, Tejo, Peninsula de Setúbal, Alentejo, Algarve, Acores and Madeira.
