<\/p>\n

When Port\u2019s popularity rose with the British in 1700s, regulations were put in place to protect the production of authentic Douro Port. Today,\u00a0true Port only originates from the Douro Valley, Portugal, much like you can only get Champagne from Champagne, France. \u00a0There are however\u00a0many ‘port-style’ wines produced globally. True Ports use a blend of grapes (no mono-varietals), and add a fortifying grape spirit (not brandy) during fermentation. The addition of the grape spirit allows it to be converted to alcohol while sparing the natural sweetness of the Duoro grapes.<\/p>\n

We learnt all this and more during a once in a lifetime visit to Portugal\u2019s\u00a0Douro Valley<\/u>, a UNESCO World Heritage site. \u00a0The terraced valley is absolutely stunning to see. \u00a0Photos simply cannot do it justice, and certainly do little to convey the\u00a0unforgettable food, wine, and hospitality.<\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/p>\n

Port wine is served all throughout Portugal, and on one of our first days in Lisbon<\/a> we were wandering through the city and stumbled upon a lively outdoor market with cheese and meat delicacies, and huge jugs of Port Sangria.<\/p>\n

The White Port Sangria was exceptional, a delicate mix of flavors and sweetness while still being refreshing. We each ordered a large cup and asked the host\u00a0to tell us how we could replicate it for our friends back home!<\/p>\n

\"White \"White \"White\"White<\/p>\n

Nothing beats sightseeing in Lisbon<\/a> with a cup of fruity Portuguese Sangria. \u00a0It’s just what you need to cool off and relax before heading off on Tram 15 to Bel\u00e9m<\/a>\u00a0to try the famous Past\u00e9is de Bel\u00e9m.<\/p>\n
