The new trend: low-alcohol wines

The new trend: low-alcohol wines

The demand for non-alcoholic or low-alcohol wines has been growing year on year. 

Proponents claim that the trend translates into lower calorie consumption and a more conscious approach to health and well-being issues. However, the truth is that it is also in summer that this demand increases, leading to a clear association between this trend and the high temperatures of the season.

Portugal is a country that can benefit greatly from this new trend, as regions with a huge Atlantic influence and cold winds prevent many varieties from fully maturing, giving rise to low-grade wines, such as the Vinho Verde and Lisbon regions.

Today we're highlighting Vercoope's brand new wines. A new ‘Fresh’ range that brings us wines with an alcohol content of 8.5%, meeting this growing demand. Urbe Augusta, Terras de Felgueiras, Via Latina and Pavão. Wines to be consumed very fresh and which are the perfect accompaniment to a variety of fish, seafood and white meat dishes, as well as various types of starters. And it also has the advantage of being discounted on our website!

João Pato Aka Duckman BlaBlaBlaBla Red is another low-alcohol wine from Bairrada. It's a wine that challenges more traditional concepts in many ways, and an excellent bet if you're also looking for these ‘lighter’ wines.

In our selection today you'll find a wide variety of wines that fulfil these expectations. But also remember that some of Portugal's best-sellers, such as Casal Garcia or Aveleda Fonte have a very low alcohol content and can also be great options for this summer.
