Portugal started to export its wines to Rome during the Roman Empire(Exports is dating back to 1367). Modern exports developed(rozwiniety) with trade to England after a treaty in 1703.
It means, that a tradition of PV is very old and Portuguese winemakers are very experienced in winemaking.

9. Wine’s regions Division on two main parts: The northern regions:
Douro, Dăo and Bairrada
The future for the northern
regions lies in focusing on
high-quality, top-end wines,
The central and southern regions:
Alentejo, Ribatejo and Estremadura.
The strength of the southern and central regions is their ability to produce accessible, full flavoured red wines in large quantities: new world-style wines with a Portuguese twist.
In looking at Portugal’s wine regions, it’s helpful to split the country in two, by drawing a line- This separates the northern regions of the Douro, Dăo and Bairrada, and the central and southern regions of the Alentejo, Ribatejo and Estremadura.
As a useful generalization, the future for the northern regions lies in focusing on high-quality, top-end wines, while the strength of the southern and central regions is their ability(zdolnosc) to produce accessibley(dostepny), full flavoured red wines in large quantities(wielkie ilosci) and at affordable(dac,nasunac) prices: new world-style wines with a Portuguese twist (what means Portuguese energy, new tastes etc.)

10. Wine’s regions: the Douro
In a relatively short period of time the Douro has established itself as Portugal’s premium wine region.
Most spectacular of wine regions.
The climate is continental, very hot and desert-dry in the summer; cold and wet in the winter.
The Douro is unlikely to ever be a plentiful source of cheap wine: with its high labour costs and low yields.
I want to start with a main info about this region: In a relatively(wzglednie,stosunkowo) short period of time the Douro has established itself as Portugal’s premium wine region.
It’s hard to overstate(zawyżyć) the scale and pace of change that is currently taking place in this most spectacular of wine regions.
The climate is continental, very hot and desert-dry in the summer; cold and wet in the winter.
The Douro is unlikely to ever be a plentiful(obfity) source(źródło) of cheap wine: with its high labour(pracownik) costs and low yields(plon).

11. Wine’s regions: the Douro
The steeply terraced vineyards contain some wonderful terroirs.
There are small-scale variations between the different vineyard sites.
The Douro is not known for its white wine.
The steeply(strome) terraced(tarasowe) vineyards contain some wonderful terroirs.
One of the fascinating aspects of the region, though, are the small-scale variations between the different vineyard sites.
With each twist and turn of the various valleys, and from the top of the slope(zbocze) to the bottom, conditions can be remarkably different. For example, down by the river the grapes will ripen(dojzale) a lot faster than those at the higher vineyards, which may be metres higher up.
And what is a characteristic feauture of Douro is that: The Douro is not known for its white wine.

12. Wine’s regions: Bairrada
The name "Bairrada" is from "barros" (clay) and due to the clayey soils of the region.
Located on the coastal plain lying slightly inland.
This is the region of the smallholder. There are a staggering 4700 registered growers, and the average plot size is a tiny 0.2 ha.
The name "Bairrada" is from "barros" (clay) and due to the clayey soils of the region.
Located on the coastal plain lying slightly(nieznacznie) inland.
This is the region of the smallholder. There are a staggering(oszałamiający) 4700 registered growers, and the average(przecietny) plot size is a tiny 0.2 ha. Most sell their grapes to the cooperatives that dominate the region’s production. But some estimate(szacowac) of the potential of this region for quality wines can be gained(zyskowe) from the observation that more than two-thirds of the vineyards here are over 50 years old.

13. Wine’s regions: Bairrada
Unusually for Portugal, Bairrada is a region dominated by just one grape called Baga.
The vines in the Bairrada region are grown generally on flat land.
Bairrada is known for red wines.
There attractive sparkling whites are a bit of a speciality here.
Unusually for Portugal, Bairrada is a region dominated by just one grape called Baga. It is thick-skinned, high in acidity and pretty tannic( ).
The vines in the Bairrada region are grown generally on flat land.
Bairrada is known for red wines. 80% of wines from this region are red, and almost all of these are made from Baga.
There attractive sparkling whites are a bit of a speciality here.
Here you have a traditional way to carrying grapes in wineries.

14. Wine’s regions: Dăo Located inland, in the centre of Portugal.
The Dăo has cold wet winters but mild, dry summers.
Red wine from Dăo is called as Portugal’s Burgundy.
Many Portuguese winemakers are experimenting with making wines from just a single variety, but not in Dăo. One of the keys to individuality of Dăo is the mix of grapes.
Located inland, the Dăo has cold wet winters but mild, dry summers.
Here I have an interesting detail: Red wine from Dăo is called as Portugal’s Burgundy.
Many Portuguese winemakers are experimenting with making wines from just a single variety, but one of the keys to this individuality is the mix of grapes that is useful in Dao.

15. Wine’s regions: Dăo
Dăo is surrounded by mountains, and the vineyards themselves are at altitudes ranging from m.
The region is protected from the influences of the Atlantic weather system to the west, but not fully exposed to the harsh continental climate to the east.
In Dăo, there is hard to find the vineyards. Vineyards don’t dominate the landscape. Just 5% of the region is under vine, with pocket vineyards.
The key to understanding these wines lies in the geography of the region. A,b
B- As a result, rainfall is high, but most of this falls in the winter months, leaving mostly hot, dry weather for the majority(większosc) of the grape growing season.
If you get a chance to visit Dăo, you'll probably have to look hard to find the vineyards. For an important wine region like this it comes as a bit of a surprise that vineyards don’t dominate the landscape. Just 5% of the region is under vine, with pockets of vines

16. Wine’s regions: Altanejo
The Alentejo has led the way in Portugal’s wine revolution.
Winemakers in Altanejo are producing red wines in two distinctive styles:
the traditional Alentejo style.
the modern, new-world style
Here’s another wine’s region. The most important fact about this region is: The Alentejo has led(prowadzic) the way in Portugal’s wine revolution.
Winemakers in Altanejo are producing red wines in two distinctive styles:
On the one hand, there is the traditional Alentejo style.
On the other hand, there is the modern, new-world style that has been such a huge commercial success and which has propelled(popychac) this region forward so fast.

17. Wine’s regions: Altanejo
The Alentejo is huge, with its flat plains covering almost a third of the country.
It’s also hot so irrigation system is common.
In contrast to the northern regions, with their fragmented smallholdings, production is dominated by large, professional producers.
The great success of the Alentejo has been in making completely modern, concentrated wines that still retain a distinctly Portuguese character.
The Alentejo is huge, with its flat plains covering almost a third of the country. Much of this area is given over to cereal production.
It’s also hot so irrigation(nawadnianie) is common.
In contrast to the northern regions, with their fragmented smallholdings, production is dominated by large, professional outfits.
And the characteristic feature of Altanejo is: The great success of the Alentejo has been in making completely modern, concentrated wines that still retain a distinctly Portuguese character.

18. Wine’s regions: Ribatejo & Estremadura
A fertile, somewhat flat, sunny region in east central Portugal.
Sunshine in the growing season as well as an Atlantic influence to the climate.
On the banks of the Tagus River, the region is producing soft, drinkable reds of interest to supermarket buyers.
You must remember that Estremadura & Ribatejo adminstrative region (rejected in the 1999 referendum). But still it’s a very interesting region.

19. Wine’s regions: Ribatejo & Estremadura
Higher quality wines come from further up the river.
Bulk wine, a long time specialty of the region, is still produced by the co-operatives.
Higher quality wines come from further up the river.
Bulk wine, a long time specialty of the region, is still produced by the co-operatives, but quality, modern and exciting wines with wide appeal are being produced by smaller growers.
And we have finished the second part of my presentation with Ribatejo & Estremadura.

20. This part of presentantion is
Watch out!
This part of presentantion is
for adults only!
Now we can go on with the other part of my presentation. But Watch out! This part of presentation is for adult only! Because i want to say smth about wine 

21. Example of Portuguese wine- Dão wine
The Dão wine is from the Dão region.
This wine is produced in a mountainous region in the area of the Mondego and Dão Rivers in the north region of central Portugal. These mountains protect the castas from maritime and continental influences.
The Dão wines, both red and white have fruitful flavour. Some of the used grape varieties are unique to the country and do not exist anywhere else.
Here I want to say smth about one example of PW, a DW.
It’s somehow characteristic for Portugal, ‘cause you can’t find this kond of wine anywhere.
The Dão wine is from the Dão region. (I said some facts about this region before)
This wine is produced in a mountainous region in the area of the Mondego and Dão Rivers in the north region of central Portugal. These mountains protect the castas (castas- means a grape variety) from maritime(morski) and continental influences.
Here’s very important fact: The Dão wines, both red and white have fruitful flavour. Some of the used grape varieties are unique to the country and do not exist anywhere else.
