The Economic and Food Safety Authority (ASAE) seized this week over 20,000 liters of wine from a producer-warehouse in the municipality of Gouveia, Guarda district. The operation, designated "Safe Label," aimed to verify compliance with labeling rules in the wine sector.

A total of 20,226 liters of wine was seized, including red, white, and rosé wine, which was ready to be introduced to the market. ASAE identified violations of the labeling rules applicable to the sector.

According to the statement released by ASAE, the labels on the seized bottles omitted mandatory information, specifically the indication regarding the wine's origin. This omission constitutes an infraction against the regulations that require clear identification of the product's provenance.

Portugal rises to A+ in Fitch's rating and Seguro calls it "excellent news"

The financial rating agency Fitch upgraded Portugal's rating from A to A+, with a stable outlook, in a decision classified by President of the Republic António José Seguro as "excellent news" and one of the most relevant of 2026. Fitch justified the upgrade with the strengthening of public finances, the trajectory of public debt reduction, and the strong political commitment to fiscal prudence, also highlighting governance indicators above the median of A-category countries. The Ministry of Finance considered that this improvement places Portugal at the level of France and Belgium, demonstrating the confidence of international investors, although the agency warned about the still elevated levels of public and external debt as risk factors.
