Portugal
Portugal is home to a diverse and vibrant wine industry, known for its unique grape varieties, rich history, and distinct regional styles. The country boasts over 250 indigenous grape varieties, many of which are rarely found elsewhere. The famous Douro Valley, one of the world’s oldest demarcated wine regions, is best known for Port wine, a fortified sweet wine. However, it also produces exceptional dry reds from grapes like Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Franca. Other notable regions include Vinho Verde, known for its light, crisp, and slightly effervescent white wines, and Dão, which produces elegant, structured reds. The Alentejo region, with its warm climate, is famous for full-bodied, fruit-forward red wines made from varieties like Trincadeira and Alicante Bouschet
