More informations about the wines of Portugal
Portugal has undergone something of a wine revolution over the past two decades, modernizing its winemaking technologies, styles and attitudes.

But it is now attracting much attention for its New wave of Rich, ripe table wines, especially the reds of the Douro Valley.
