Portuguese wines have more than two thousand years of history and were introduced by the Romans. During the Middle Ages, Christian monks played an important role in the development of Portuguese wines. In the 15th century, Portugal began to expand its markets and exported wines to Europe and other parts of the world. In the 19th century, phylloxera destroyed most of the Portuguese vineyards, but the wine industry recovered and modernized in the 20th century. Currently, Portugal is known for its high quality wines, such as Porto, Vinho Verde, Dão, Alentejo, Douro, among others.
