Port is an alcoholic beverage typical of Portugal. Port is, more precisely, a fortified wine produced exclusively in Portugal, in the Upper Douro region.
The term port comes from the city of Porto, which was originally where port was produced. Port is a story of terroir and culture.
Even today, port is still made in an artisanal way in the Douro Valley.
Traditionally, the inhabitants of these villages bring their own grapes to the wine merchants in order to produce their own beverage. Some of these productions are then resold to large companies.
There are almost as many vineyard owners as there are hectares of vines in the Douro. The greater part of port production is handled by merchants or producers. The latter blend the wines they purchase from wine merchants or growers. 90% of the port market is held by 200 port brands.
The finest ports are often produced by estate-bottling producers who own their own vineyard and cultivate their own harvest. On Bestwine • Online, you will find quality ports that may be produced by merchants, estate-bottling producers or wine merchants. You will of course only find ports originating from Portugal.
Port is made from fermented grapes to which a wine spirit known as 'brandy' is added, before being aged.
Port is an alcoholic beverage exported throughout the world. The leading consumer country of port is not Portugal but the United Kingdom. Historically, port is an alcoholic beverage closely linked to the United Kingdom, since most of the owners of the great port houses were once English.
