As international recognition continues to grow, Portuguese wines are not only winning awards, but also becoming widely recognised for their quality and uniqueness.
What has been the result? A steady increase in Portuguese wine exports worldwide.
Portuguese Wines Are Trendy!
According to Forbes Portugal (2024), the wine sector aims to achieve €1.2 billion in exports by 2030. In order to ensure the economic sustainability of the sector, the main objective is to increase the average price to 3.19 euros per litre.
Now that almost half of the wine produced is exported, Frederico Falcão, President of ViniPortugal, stresses the importance of adapting the internationalisation strategy to each market’s buying patterns and strengthening its presence.
Among the top export destinations in the first quarter of 2024 were France (€24.8 million), the United States (€23.7 million) and Brazil (€18.3 million).
