Portugal

As is traditional in its neighboring Spain, red wine is enjoyed religiously at lunch and dinner meals in Portugal, and viticulture is an innate part of the country's cultural identity. Though it is renowned for producing some of the world's finest and most exceptional red varieties, such as Tinto Alentejo or the classic Tempranillo, Portugal is also a world-leading exporter of Port, and its fortified wines are considered to be the benchmark when it comes to port wine excellence.
