At 80 years old, this wine produced in the Douro was elected the best fortified wine in the world

Expresso10 September 2026 at 17:13

A Port wine with 80 years of age produced in the Douro region was recently distinguished as the best fortified wine in the world. This is the Menin Porto Tawny 80 Anos, which won the title of best fortified wine of 2026 at the prestigious International Wine Challenge competition.

This wine is produced in the Douro region, internationally known for the quality of its fortified wines, particularly those from Porto. The fact that a wine with eight decades of existence received this distinction demonstrates the longevity and exceptional quality that wines from this region can achieve.

The Menin Porto Tawny 80 Anos has a retail price of 1,600 euros, reflecting its rarity and the prolonged aging process that gives it unique characteristics. This type of wine represents a significant investment for enthusiasts and collectors.

The title won at the International Wine Challenge positions this Portuguese wine among the best in the world in the fortified wines category, reinforcing the reputation of the Douro region and national producers in the international wine scene.

MOBI.E assumes role as Data Aggregating Entity for Electric Mobility

MOBI.E officially assumed the functions of Data Aggregating Entity for Electric Mobility (DAEEM), marking a historic milestone for the centralization of information on the national charging infrastructure. The first Charging Point Operators successfully completed integration testing on the new platform, enabling fully integrated and real-time information on the entire national network to be made available for the first time. This transformation results from the new Legal Framework for Electric Mobility and European Regulation 2023/1804 (AFIR), which obliges all public access charging point operators to share their station data free of charge. Electric vehicle drivers now have centralized access to data such as location, technical characteristics, payment methods, prices, and real-time availability. MOBI.E acts as an intermediary between private operators and the National Access Point (NAP), managed by IMT, collecting, structuring, and harmonizing data according to the standards defined by the European Union.
