Portugal about to pop cork on great wine year
"I’m predicting that Portugal is poised to have a breakout wine year in 2020.
The tiny, coastal Mediterranean country (though it does not border that sea) is about the size of Indiana, but it’s punching above its weight when it comes to producing better wines each year.
In 2019, when the world’s total wine production declined 10%, Portugal topped global charts with a 10% volume increase over the previous year.
But statistics alone don’t tell the whole story. Portugal’s wines are on the rise because they’re so good and largely inexpensive."
