Description
The elegant facade of the Garrafeira do Carmo, a shop selling typical local ports, wines and other alcoholic drinks in Porto / Oporto, Portugal. Port is a fortified wine produced in the Douro Valley (one of the world's oldest wine producing regions), which gets its name from Porto, the port at the mouth of the Douro River from which most of it was exported. Similar fortified wines (which are typically red and sweeter and richer than normal, unfortified wines) are made in many places; according to European Union Protected Designation of Origin guidelines only such wines produced in Portugal can be labelled as port or porto.
