Portugal is one of the world’s largest wine producers, 10th on a list led by Italy, France, and Spain. Its annual production often exceeds 6 million hectolitres. Native grape varieties and traditional winemaking methods produce unique wines from various regions of the country – Douro, Alentejo, Dão, Bairrada, Madeira, and the Azores.
Economic, cultural and technological factors have driven the growth of Portuguese vineyards. This development is reflected in the expansion of the cultivation area and the improvement in the quality of the wines produced. In 2023, exports totalled 928 million euros. Port wine continues to be the most successful in foreign markets, but the table wine segment, reds, whites and rosés, has grown in several countries.

In this issue, we present a profile on South Korea. South Korea is a growing and increasingly technological economy, prioritising sectors such as semiconductors, biotechnology and the future of mobility. It has a unique consumer culture that combines traditional products with major international trends. The agri-food sector, especially wine, could be a winning bet for Portuguese exporters.
