With the arrival of longer, sunnier days, you may start to crave something lighter, fresher, and more laid-back in your glass, and fortunately, Portugal is full of excellent options without having to spend a fortune.
If you’re a fan of vibrant white wines, with good acidity and perfect for accompanying afternoons in the sun, snacks or light meals, there are some real gems under €8 that are well worth your attention.
From the classic Vinhos Verdes, known for their freshness and citrus notes, to the smoother, more balanced whites of the Alentejo, or even options from the Setúbal Peninsula offering excellent value for money, there is plenty to explore — including this month’s best deals, such as Mingorra Monte dos Pelados (39% off) and the Douro wine Curva (25% off).
At this time of year, opting for younger, more aromatic wines is almost always a safe bet, especially if they are served chilled and with the right accompaniments.
If you’re looking for new bottles to try this spring, we’ve put together a few suggestions that combine quality, freshness and a friendly price.
