Wines from Portugal strengthen their presence at Wine Paris & Vinexpo Paris 2024.
More than 150 exhibitors, representing the diversity of the Portuguese wine industry, will be spread over 900 sqm, with a broad choice of almost 1,500 wines.

« With France being one of our main markets in terms of exports, it is extremely important that we continue to strengthen our presence by continuing all the work we are doing in this market. This is part of our promotion strategy for 2024, to strongly invest in very relevant international fairs such as Vinexpo Paris, because we believe in the growth potential of Portuguese wines, especially in one of the countries that are part of our Top 5 main export markets,” stresses Frederico Falcão, President of ViniPortugal, the interprofessional association created to promote the quality and excellence of Portuguese wines abroad, currently operating in 21 markets.

#MORE Sustainability

With the creation of the National Reference of Sustainability Certification for the wine sector, ViniPortugal manages a quality label and offers consumers the guarantee that the producer respects the rules of sustainability.
