  • Portugal Country Profile
    Portugal Country Profile August 2019 Following its heyday as a global maritime power during the 15th and 16th centuries, Portugal lost much of its wealth and status with the destruction of Lisbon in a 1755 earthquake, occupation during the Napoleonic Wars, and the independence of Brazil, its wealthiest colony, in 1822. A 1910 revolution deposed the monarchy; for most of the next six decades, repressive governments ran the country. In 1974, a left-wing military coup installed broad democratic reforms. The following year, Portugal granted independence to all of its African colonies. Portugal is a founding member of NATO and entered the EC (now the EU) in 1986. A publication BACKGROUND Geography: Southwestern Europe, bordering the North Atlantic Ocean, west of Spain, ncludes Azores and Madeira Islands. Total area 92,090 sq km. Economy and Infrastructure: Portugal has become a diversified and increasingly service-based economy since joining the European Community - the EU's predecessor - in 1986. Over the following two decades, successive governments privatized many state-controlled firms and liberalized key areas of the economy, including the financial and telecommunications sectors. The country joined the Economic and Monetary Union in 1999 and began circulating the euro on 1 January 2002 along with 11 other EU members. The center-left minority Socialist government has unwound some unpopular austerity measures while managing to remain within most EU fiscal targets. People: Total population is 10,839,514 and median age is 42.2 years. Agriculture: Grain, potatoes, tomatoes, olives, grapes; sheep, cattle, goats, pigs, poultry, dairy products; fish. Industries: textiles, clothing, footwear, wood and cork, paper and pulp, chemicals, fuels and lubricants, automobiles and auto parts, base metals, minerals, porcelain and ceramics, glassware, technology, telecommunications; dairy products, wine, other foodstuffs; ship construction and refurbishment; tourism, plastics, financial services, optics.

  • Portuguese Wines Have a Long History and Strong Presence in the Local Wine Scene
    “Wine is the most civilized thing in the world” “Ernest Hemingway” Portuguese wines have a long history and strong presence in the local wine scene. For many years, people have been coming to Macao searching for the exquisiteness of the Portuguese food and of course their wines. Although best known for their highly acclaimed Port wines and also Madeira wines to some degree, Portugal has a lot more to offer in terms of wine styles. To begin with, Portugal has a great variety of their own native grapes, including the most well known Touriga Nacional. They also produce many wines using the international noble grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot or Chardonnay. Until recently the variety of wine found in Macao both Portuguese and international was almost non-existing. In this respect, nowadays Macao is a paradise for someone who wants to fully experience some of the best wines Portugal has to offer. Many of the top Portuguese wines, make now their way to Macao in fair quantities and at very reasonable prices. For that reason IFTM Educational Restaurant compiled a list of the best Portugal has to offer. Its not only a wine list but a guide and a knowledge fountain…Being a school, our aim is to quench people’s thirst for knowledge, and that is exactly what we wanted to achieve with this list. Here you can find not only the name of the wines but also, the grape varieties, and an overall explanation about the Portuguese wine producing regions and classifications. We hope this list helps shed some light regarding Portuguese wines and that by the end of your experience you will be equipped with more knowledge and a better understanding of Portuguese wines.
