Portugal is popular for port wine among other things. It is coming from the Douro Valley. The Douro Valley is located in the northern part of Portugal (close to the Spanish border).

You can drink dry port wine, semi-dry port wine and white port wine. All of them are different but very good and tasty.

The Douro Valley has a long and ancient tradition of producing unique wines since the Romans introduced wine to the Iberian peninsula. It had been considered for a long time as a unique location to produce specific wines. After the war between the French and the English, it became the spot to produce port wine. At that time, they were selling port wine to the British and the Dutch. Since then, it has changed as port wine is sold all over the world…

To preserve this wine, you need a controlled room at 55-60 degrees and 60-80% of humidity. Preservation is key if you want to enjoy the best of port wine. Otherwise, you might lose part of its unique taste and its colour. Be careful with such great wine!
