Description
"We feel abandoned", says winegrower Jose Manuel Ferreira from the Douro Valley, home to Portugal's famous port wine which has seen a steady decline in sales in recent years due to changing consumer habits. An increase in sales of Douro table wines has failed to compensate for the fall in port wine sales. "What we can do on our side to try and control the situation in Douro is to ask ourselves how many grapes and how many litres of wine we produce," says winemaker and producer of port wine Oscar Quevedo.
