PORTUGAL’S W**E PROBLEM? IT’S TOO CHEAP. 🇵🇹🍷

Hear us out.

We’ve been trained to think:

$10 = basic.
$20 = good.
$40 = serious.
$75+ = exceptional.

But what happens when the bottle doesn’t follow the script?

We found FOUR Portuguese w**es scoring 90+ points — and none costs more than $13.99.

🍾 Muralhas de Monção 2025** — 90 Decanter — $9.99
🍷 Marquês de Borba 2024** — 91 W**e Enthusiast — $10.99
🍷 Bridão Trincadeira 2017** — 91 W**e Enthusiast — $12.99
🍷 Dona Ermelinda Reserva 2023** — 93 Decanter — $13.99

Four w**es.
Four Portuguese regions.
Four different expressions.
$47.96 for all four.

And that’s where things get interesting.

Because price can tell you about scarcity, production, positioning and demand.

But it can't tell you what the w**e tastes like.

PRICE IS NOT A TASTING NOTE.

So we want to know:

If you saw these four bottles without knowing the prices, what would you guess they cost?

👇 Be honest.

THE PORTUGUESE W**E MAP IS BASICALLY CHEATING. 🇵🇹🍷

One small country.

And somehow it has:

🌊 Atlantic influence
🌫️ Fog
🪨 Granite
⛰️ Mountains
📈 Altitude
🪨 Schist
🪨 Limestone
☀️ Heat
🍇 An incredible collection of indigenous grape varieties

Travel from the cool, Atlantic-influenced north to the mountains of the interior, through the dramatic schist slopes of the Douro, and down into the sun-drenched Alentejo…

…and you're not just changing the scenery.

You're changing the conditions in which grapes grow — and, ultimately, the w**es they produce.

That's one of the reasons Portuguese w**e is so fascinating.

The country isn't defined by one climate, one soil, or one style.

Portugal is a collection of w**e worlds packed into one small country.

And that's before we even start talking about the grapes. 👀

So here's our question:

Which Portuguese w**e region should we explore next?

DÃO? DOURO? ALENTEJO? MINHO? BAIRRADA? LISBOA?

SAME GRAPE. THREE PORTUGALS. 🍷🇵🇹

What if we told you that Touriga Nacional can taste like a completely different w**e depending on where it grows?

Same grape. Different climate. Different altitude. Different soil. Different w**emaking.

And suddenly, the personality changes.

⛰️ DÃO — cooler, higher-elevation vineyards and granite-rich soils can bring out a more floral, elegant and lifted expression.

🏔️ DOURO — heat, dryness and rugged schist slopes can push Touriga Nacional toward greater concentration, structure and depth.

☀️ ALENTEJO — warmer, drier conditions can encourage riper fruit, broader texture and a more generous style.

And that's the fascinating part:

The grape didn't change.
The place did.

That is terroir.

So if you had three glasses in front of you — Dão, Douro or Alentejo — which Touriga Nacional would you reach for first?

👇 DÃO. DOURO. or ALENTEJO?

Tell us in the comments.

And if you want to discover what Portugal's flagship grape can really do, stop by Lisbon W**es & Liquors. We'll help you taste the difference.

🍷 PORTUGUESE W**E OF THE WEEK

What if your next great Portuguese red came from the Atlantic coast?

Meet Paulo da Silva Casal da Azenha Red IG Lisboa 2019 — a w**e from the sandy vineyards of Sintra, where Atlantic winds, coastal humidity, and traditional Portuguese w**emaking create a red with a character all its own.

🍒 Wild red fruit & black cherry
🌿 Dry herbs & savory complexity
🍷 Bright acidity & firm tannins
🌊 A subtle saline, coastal finish

And behind the bottle is a family story dating back to 1898 — generations of w**emaking tradition carried forward on the Sintra coast.

This is a Portuguese red for the table, not just the tasting room. Think grilled meats, Portuguese sausages, aged cheeses, and a long dinner with good conversation.

Fresh. Savory. Structured. Coastal.

WHAT DOES $50 LOOK LIKE IN PORTUGAL? 🇵🇹

Not a cheap bottle.

Not a compromise.

Not just “good w**e for the money.”

It can be power.
It can be richness.
It can be Madeira.
It can be serious sparkling w**e.
It can be a bottle from 2007.
It can be Port.
It can be Touriga Nacional from a completely different region.

Seven bottles.
Seven personalities.
Seven ways to experience Portugal.

And that's the part we love about Portuguese w**e:

The same budget can take you somewhere completely different.

Sometimes you get a w**e from 2020.

Sometimes you get a w**e that's been aging for a decade.

Sometimes you get a bottle with nearly two decades of history behind it.

One budget. Completely different stories.

Because choosing w**e isn't always about spending more.

It's about choosing well.

So, you have $50.

What are you drinking?

🍷 Douro — Power
🌿 Alentejo — Richness
🏝️ Madeira — Surprise
🥂 Espumante — Bubbles
🍇 Dão — Elegance
🍷 Bairrada — Age
🍷 Port — Tradition

You've seen “Reserva” on Portuguese w**e labels. But what does it actually mean? 🇵🇹

Here's the part many people don't realize:

Reserva isn't simply another word for “better.”

In Portugal, it's a regulated designation with specific requirements that can include alcohol level, sensory approval, and additional aging requirements depending on the w**e category and applicable regulations.

But here's what the word doesn't tell you:

It doesn't tell you whether you'll love the w**e.

It doesn't tell you whether it's worth the price.

And it definitely doesn't tell you whether it's the right bottle for tonight's dinner.

That's why we don't shop by impressive words on a label.

We look at the region, grapes, w**emaking, style, food pairing, occasion—and yes, the price.

Our translation of “Reserva”?

👉 It's a clue. Not a verdict.

THE W**E SHOP KNOWS.

What Portuguese w**e word should we translate next?

🇩🇴 HAVE YOU TRIED MAMAJUANA?

If you haven’t, this is your invitation to try something completely different.

Meet Candela Mamajuana Rum — a smooth Dominican botanical spirit that brings together fresh-pressed sugarcane rum, red w**e, honey, and a traditional blend of Caribbean roots, barks, and herbs.

The result? Velvety, warming, and surprisingly approachable, with flavors of honey, caramel, dried fruit, cinnamon, clove, and warm oak.

And you don't need to prepare the traditional homemade version.

Candela comes ready to enjoy.

🥃 Sip it neat.
🧊 Pour it over ice.
🍹 Or use it to put a Dominican twist on your favorite cocktail.

Not your typical rum. And that's exactly the point.

🇩🇴 A taste of Dominican tradition with a modern approach.

📍 New arrival at Lisbon W**es & Liquors.

🔥🇲🇽 MEZCAL. BEYOND SMOKE.

Not all mezcal tells the same story.

We’ve just added three exceptional artisanal expressions to the shelves at Lisbon W**es & Liquors — each offering a completely different perspective on agave craftsmanship.

💧 Gotas De Dios Glass Aged Mezcal
Michoacán • 100% Blue Weber Agave
Rested quietly in glass rather than wood, allowing the pure character of the agave to shine without oak tannins.

🌿 Gotas De Dios 100% Agave Angustifolia
Michoacán • 100% Agave Angustifolia
Another glass-matured expression focused on preserving the authentic, unmasked character of the agave.

🐆 Xiaman 100% Mezcal Artesanal Joven
Oaxaca • 50% Wild Tepextate + 50% Espadín
A five-generation Zapotec craft mezcal with floral, mineral, baked-apple and gently smoky notes — presented in a stunning bottle finished with Wixárika beadwork and a jaguar stopper. 🐆

Three bottles.
Three approaches to agave.
Three reasons to explore beyond the familiar.

🥃 Best enjoyed slowly, neat, and with intention.

FRESHNESS FROM THE MOUNTAINS. 🏔️🇵🇹

Think Portuguese white w**e and you might picture the coast. But some of Portugal’s most intriguing whites come from much farther inland.

🍋 Citrus freshness
🪨 Mineral character
✨ Smooth, creamy texture
🥂 12.5% ABV
🇵🇹 DOC Trás-os-Montes

Made from Rabigato, Bical & Gouveio, it strikes a beautiful balance between lively acidity and a surprisingly soft, textured palate.

Perfect with grilled fish, shellfish, creamy pasta, fresh cheeses—or simply a long lunch with friends.

Some of Portugal’s best discoveries are hiding behind the mountains.
