Grapes were dumped on the street as a symbolic alert for the crisis affecting the Douro region. The action represents the frustration of local producers in the face of the difficulties they are experiencing.
During this period when harvests intensify in the region, many winemakers still do not know who to sell their grapes to. Marketing has become one of the main concerns of producers.
The Douro region, known for the production of Port wine and other quality wines, is going through a crisis that threatens the economic sustainability of local small-scale producers.
