Vinho is the Portuguese word for wine, a popular alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes. The process of making vinho involves crushing grapes to extract their juice, which is then fermented with yeast. Different grape varieties and fermentation techniques result in a wide range of flavors, colors, and aromas. Portugal is known for its diverse vinho production, with regions like Douro and Alentejo producing distinct styles. Port wine, a fortified wine from the Douro Valley, is particularly famous. Vinho can be enjoyed on its own or paired with various foods, enhancing the dining experience.
