Vinho do Portugal
Many people think that France is the land of wines(good wines). But the truth is that the best wines on the European Common Market( and not only) are the ones grown on portuguese soil, blessed by the portuguese sun and aged in portuguese cellars.
Portugal was 25 years ahead of France’s 1855 Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée in classifying “quality wine.”
There are currently nine Denominacao de Origem Controlada (DOC) or Regiao Demarcada (RD) wine regions. The current list of DOC regions includes: Vinho Verde (7 subregions: Moncao, Lima, Braga, Basto, Amarante, Penafiel, Lafo), Porto e Douro, Bairrada, Dao, Bucelas, Corales, Carcavelos, Setubal and Madeira.
Since joining the European Common Market, an additional 30 areas have been identified by the phrase Indicacao de Provenienca Regulamentada (IPR) or Vinhos de Qualidad Produzides em Regiao Determinada (VQPRD).
