Abstract

IntroductionThe winemaking sector in Portugal is of major socio‐economic relevance, significantly contributing to the national exports and sustaining many wine‐related activities, including tourism (Tavares and de Azevedo ). Vineyard area accounts for 14% of the total planted agricultural area (Instituto Nacional de Estatística ), ranking Portugal as number 1 in the world regarding this share (Anderson and Aryal ). With a vineyard area of over 200 000 ha and an annual wine production of about 6 million hL (Instituto da Vinha e do Vinho ), Portugal currently has the seventh largest vineyard area in the world and is ranked the 11th wine producer and the 10th wine exporter (Organisation Internationale de la Vigne et du Vin ). Amongst the Portuguese wine producing regions, the Douro demarcated region (DDR) is one of the oldest wine regions in the world, famous for its port wine and other high‐quality wines. Approximately, 50% of the annual port wine production is exported, contributing to the total national wine exports of over 700 million €/year.Located in the inner‐northeast of Portugal, within the Douro river basin (Figure ), the DDR spreads over an area of 250 000 ha, of which 40 000 ha are vineyards.
