Analyst Review

Recent trends in the past few years have seen an increase in alcohol consumption. Especially as a hobby or as a source of entertainment or socialization. A lot of the newer alcohol drinkers prefer spirits or wines that are sweeter and easier to drink, as they can find heavier or darker spirits unpleasant and intense. This boosts the preference towards port wines.

Port wine is made in a few countries, however, only the port wine made in the Douro valley of Portugal is considered to be authentic port, or porto wine. These wines are made traditionally through many years using same or similar techniques to maintain consistency in quality and taste of the wine. Because of its sweet flavor, it is mostly consumed after dinner as a desert wine or a digestive wine. Most of the aficionados or connoisseurs of port wines prefer tawny ports due to their flavor complexity and aging process, while newer drinkers are more attuned to ruby port and cocktails like port and tonic.

Adoption of omnichannel approach of selling port wine by engaged stakeholders is helping to increase the reach of the wine to countries that may not still be adoptive or appreciative of port wines. This is also contributing to awareness regarding port wines, especially with winery tours for tourists in the region producing the wines, and it will help the port wine market to reach newer avenues.
