USA San Francisco, The Time Come For Portuguese Wine?

David BECK Academic - Economics, Society and Political science - Environment and Technologies (AI, blockchain)

If you don’t put the grape variety on the label in the US you can’t sell the wine, and it needs to be a well-known grape

The excitement surrounding Portuguese wines started first within the sommelier community. This generation of wine professionals is creating innovative wine lists and portfolios that are compelling to their peers. They understand this demographic’s desire for new and exciting flavor profiles and unexplored regions.

Portuguese wines do use some standard issue grapes, like Cabernet, Chardonnay and so forth, but the traditional Portuguese varieties are very dominant.

“Portuguese wines are selling very well to Millennials and to Generation X. They are more open. They don’t care so much about grape varieties”*.
