Visiting The Oldest European Wine Region Alto Douro | Europe To The Maxx
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2024
- Not only is the Douro valley the oldest wine-growing region, it’s also considered the most beautiful. Since 1756, a legal demarcation has defined where the grapes for port wine can be grown. Here in northern Portugal, the harvested grapes are still trampled underfoot. So it’s perfect for our reporter Hendrik Welling to explore this region, and to taste some of the world’s best port wines.

"There's no where else where foot treading is used to make wine in the world". Well, it's still done this way in my village in Uganda...
You probably dont give a damn but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost the login password. I love any assistance you can offer me.
@Ramon Bradley instablaster ;)
@Tadeo Will I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hendrick being invited by the vineyard owner to trample grapes while both are wearing neatly pressed ironed and starched shirts sure looks fun and scary the same time. 🍇😅🍇 But sure DW got his dry cleaning bills covered for that assignment. #LaundryHazard
I love wine
💚❤️🇵🇹👍🏻
Paolo Savedra is lied. The river Duero It´s quite smooth
Its quite smooth today because of the dams that were built! When Rabelo boats were used to transport the Port wine, Douro river was a tricky river with lots of rapids.
Wow 34 dams throughout the river
How many bottel of that wine are made on a singel year
The same companies are also involved in the "Port" documentary (dir. David Kennard), which features quite a few disturbing scenes. Examples:
- during a ceremony/party, predominantly white men sing "British will never be slaves" while being served by visible minorities
- workers were singing "liberdad" (liberty) while doing hard labor
- the liberdad song also features rather sexist "pretty girls" lyrics (some of the girls appear to be too young to be working)
- the workers, while toiling, were all wearing shirts with the company's logo like some kind of cattle after being tagged
- the museum employee proudly and unabashedly presents sexist painting depicting objectification of women (the devil is trying to make a choice between wine or women)
- the company executives attempt to paint a picture of down-to-earth "family business" but you know they're not part of many of the tedious processes when the camera is not rolling
and so on..
I know winemaking is a wonderful tradition, but I believe certain aspects need to be updated
You might need an update on all that virtue signaling. Have a glass of wine and relax.

Serious???? Till today with feet??? No way!!!🙅🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️
It just for show for tourists, people pay to go on this tours and do it like in the old days, it's like going on a Renaissance fair. Nowadays there are very advanced machinery that does it, the wine industry in Portugal is highly regulated.
That's why I don't prefer red wine. I can't drink people's feet 🤢😫
@Luano Fortuin Also white grapes are being foot-stamped now and then . . 😲
Isso é porque temos tantos vinhos medalhados. Mas fiquei descansado, hoje é tudo automatizado mas o que vemos aqui é apenas uma tradição para os turistas.
What an idiotic comment...
