• Resumen

  • Grape cultivation and winemaking appear to have been introduced into Brazil by the Portuguese, after 1500. However, viticulture during the colonial period was of limited success, for a variety of reasons. Environmental conditions were unsuitable and Portuguese commercial policy sought to protect domestic production and to use Brazil as a market for wine from the Douro and elsewhere. Only with the arrival of immigrants from the Açores, Germany and Italy was a modest wine industry established in southern Brazil in the 19th century.
