    Wines of Portugal - Portugal is a country of wine


    lovers and winemakers, known since the
    Roman Empire. The Romans immediately
    associated Portugal with its God of Wine
    Bacchus. Today, many Portuguese wines
    are known as some of the world's best: Vinho do
    Douro, Vinho do Alentejo, Vinho do Dão, Vinho Verde,
    Madeira wine, Muscatel of Setúbal, and
    Moscatel of Favaios. Beer is also widely
    consumed, with the largest national beer brands
    being Sagres and Super Bock. Liqueurs, like
    Licor Beirão and ginjinha, are popular.

    A Brief History The history of Portugal dates back to the Early


    Middle Ages. In the 15th and 16th centuries,
    Portugal ascended to the status of a
    world power during Europe's "Age of
    Discovery" as it built up a vast empire, including
    possessions in South America, Africa, Asia, and
    Oceania. Over the following two centuries,
    Portugal kept most of its colonies, but gradually lost
    much of its wealth and status as the Dutch, English,
    and French took an increasing share of the
    spice and slave trades by surrounding or
    conquering the widely scattered Portuguese
    trading posts and territories.

    Note Portugal is a founding member of the North Atlantic


    Treaty Organization (NATO), the
    Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
    Development (OECD), and the European Free Trade
    Association (EFTA). It entered the European
    Economic Community (now the European Union) in 1986.
