"We want a brand capable of talking to different generations": Royal Oporto 'changes' at 270 years old

SAPO Notícias13 September 2026 at 09:19

Real Companhia Velha, one of the oldest companies in Portugal, celebrates 270 years with a deep renewal of the Royal Oporto brand. The company changed the visual identity, bottle formats and the entire communication strategy to update the image of Port Wine.

The main objective of this transformation is to bring Port Wine closer to younger generations. The brand intends to break away from the traditional and elitist perception associated with Port Wines, making them more accessible and attractive to consumers who previously did not identify with the drink.

The strategy also includes exploring new consumption occasions. Real Companhia Velha wants to position Royal Oporto not just as a drink for formal moments or desserts, but as a viable option for different contexts and audiences, thus diversifying its reach in the market.

Why this matters

This news is relevant for wine consumers in Portugal, especially in the Douro region, where Real Companhia Velha is based and employs hundreds of people. The brand's strategy to conquer younger audiences can influence the availability of new styles of Port Wine on the market, as well as the practices of other wine houses in the region that may follow the same path of modernization.

Faro Airport registers "greatest pressure" in biometric data collection

Mandatory biometric data collection from 100% of passengers coming from outside the Schengen area is proceeding without major problems at most Portuguese airports, but Faro faces "greater pressure" due to factors such as weather conditions, flight delays and concentration of arrivals, especially from British tourists. Since 6 September, when the measure came into force, processing time per passenger has increased from 5-15 to 15-30 minutes in Lisbon, which the PSP considers acceptable. The addition of 360 officers and technological investments have reversed the serious constraints recorded at the beginning of the year, but the PSP admits it cannot guarantee that problems will not return, with capacity currently at 80% of recommended levels, with a focus on more technical training.
