Portuguese wines have many things going for them as the country has a long history, a lot of indigenous grape varieties, and diverse Terroirs, and on top of that, the wines are generally cheap. It is the 10th largest wine producer in the world. While the country looks out over the Atlantic and was instrumental in discovering the rest of the world, it was also isolated for a long time and therefore stuck to old traditions, methods, and varieties. With Port and Madeira Portugal continues to produce some of the most famous fortified wines, but there are also great table wines coming out of Portugal – especially today.
