Mercosur: Brazil is the "apple of the eye" of Portugal's wine producers

Público14 September 2026 at 07:13

With the entry into force of the agreement between Mercosur and the European Union, Brazil has become the main focus of attention for Portuguese wine producers. The president of ViniPortugal, Frederico Falcão, stated that the country is the "apple of the eye" of the Portuguese wine sector, indicating that the Brazilian market represents a strategic priority for the expansion of wine exports from Portugal.

The trade agreement between Mercosur and the European Union opens new possibilities for the trade of wine products between the blocs. For Portuguese producers, Brazil represents a market with great potential for growth in wine consumption, especially those of Portuguese origin.

Frederico Falcão, leader of the entity that represents the wine sector in Portugal, expressed optimism about increasing sales of Portuguese wines to Brazil. The cultural proximity between the two countries and the preference of Brazilian consumers for Portuguese products are factors that favor this commercial expansion.

Why this matters

The trade agreement may directly impact Brazilian consumers with greater access to Portuguese wines, possibly at more competitive prices. For Portuguese producers, it represents a significant market expansion. The statement by the president of ViniPortugal confirms that Brazil is considered a priority market for the sector after the agreement enters into force.
