The Douro Demarcated Region is set to transform 75,000 barrels of must into Port wine during the 2025 harvest. This marks the third significant reduction in production over the past three years, following the approval of 90,000 barrels in 2024, 104,000 in 2023, and 116,000 in 2022.

This continuous decrease in production has led to a staggering loss of €41 million for the Douro region over these three years. The cuts reflect broader challenges facing the Port wine industry, including market demand fluctuations and the need for sustainable viticulture practices.
