Vinho do Porto
On the steep terraced slopes of the Douro Valley, the grapes that produce a fortified red wine of unusual longevity have been cultivated since the seventeenth century. Following the Methuen Treaty, English merchants house themselves in Porto, the Real Companhia das Vinhas do Alto Douro is chartered by the Marquis of Pombal, and Vinho do Porto becomes a protected denomination governed by the first formal demarcation of a wine region in history. This regulated luxury export generates a continuous stream of British silver in exchange for Portuguese wine, sustaining the kingdom's positive trade balance through the entire eighteenth century.
