Similar dilema of Portugal’s Vinho Verde and France’s Beaujolais created by Beaujolais Nouveau

July 17, 2011
Philippines Wine Shop Clark Wine Center is pleased to share with you articles, news and information about wine, wine events, wine tasting and other topics related to wine and the appreciation of wine.

When traveling to Portugal, one drinks two wines: vinho verde and port. Unfortunately, vinho verde has a very poor reputation due to its poor quality: sweet, heavy, low in alcohol but sooooooooo easy to drink. Unfortunately the low quality of 98% of vinho verde damaged the reputation of an appellation that can produce great wines. There is only to taste the wines of Casa de Cello and its friends of the Independent Wine Growers Group to understand what I mean.

In fact, vinho verde has the same problem as Beaujolais in France. Because Duboeuf launched the cheap and mediocre Beaujolais Nouveau, consumers forgot that the region also produces great wines. We can just wish the efforts of the best producers from both Vinho Verde and Beaujolais will shadow the mediocre production of those beautiful wine regions.
