Thread: Brazilian Wine?

What is the most famous wine in Brazil? Or any alcoholic brink that we can enjoy under the moon?

Hello, there are quite a few inernational wines here in Brazil. A few chilean wine that you could enjoy under the moon would be the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Carmenere. For Portuguese wines you could try are: Colares, Douro and the Port.

i have tried Colares in my country. the wine that i have tested is not hundred percent real Colares. but i think it is good and you can really enjoy it at night with your friends.

The best and the most famous wines of Brazil are from the south region of the country. Many cities from Rio Grande do Sul state, such as Bento Gonçalves, Garibaldi, Caxias do Sul, produce the best wines of Brazil. There are many familiar wineries dedicated on producing great wines and distributing for many Brazilian cities. Cheers!!!

Brazil is a great country to produce amazing beers and rum made from sugar cane, popular known as cachaca. We are not producing a lot of wine like Chile and Argentina which are producing wines that are very popular sold in Europe. I never found a brazilian wine in a european restaurants. However, we can produce some good wines that I which to break the international market very soon. Because we have a lot of immigrants in the south coming from Italy is interesting to know that Nova Trento (Santa Catarina), for example, produce a delicious wine. Once, I went there with my friends and I could feel a great atmosphere, the owner let us to try many kind of wines. We can call as a "house wine" or "vinho tinto de mesa" and I would recommend Vô Luiz Wines if you have a chance to visit this beautiful italian colony in the South. I really like to make wine caipirinhas with "vinho tinto de mesa suave" It's very easy: 2 spoons of sugar, 4 slices of lime, ice and shake it!!!!!
Vinho Tinto de Mesa Suave are dry, made with red grapes and easy to drink like a cabernet sauvignon for example!

thanks for the information about the Brazilian drinks, i think your recipe of wine caipirinhas with "vinho tinto de mesa suave" is simply great!!

The ingredients are just so simple.. Thanks for the post bro! we can try and enjoy it at home..

Well, first of all you wrote brink (did you mean drink?) in your post, which would lead me to believe that you may have had enough of the wine already :-)...just kidding! Brazil has been consolidated as the fifth largest producer of wines in the southern hemisphere.

Brazil has been developing an exceptional capacity for the production of quality wine. Nowadays, the country is regarded as one of the best regions in the world for growing grapes

Has anyone here ever tried "sangria"

It is a wine based beverage, with the addition of other fruits. It is "weaker" than wine, but on the right occasion could be a good call.

I was a bartender for years, so I HAVE to give you guys the recipe

Throw in a Jar:
2 table spoons of white sugar
200ml of any merlot or cabernet
1/2 apple chopped
A few wedges of lime and orange
50ml of orange juice
add ice to the jar.

And there you go. Home made Sangria!

is it really a wine? sounds good. i think i will try to make it soon!! thanks for the recipe.

Yes, I´ve tried SANGRIA before, and it is a very delicious wine, it is such as "Coolers", with fruits. Very good!

Boscato has to be one of my favorite Brazilian wines! The quality of the grapes are
out of this world. Enjoy!

You must try Cachaca! its the best!

Region south of Brazil produces the best Brazilian wines, compared to the French wines, for sure!

DOM CÂNDIDO is my favorite wine..

Yes, the best list I´ve ever seen. Excellent.

The best Brazilian wines come from the south region of Brazil, such as bento Gonçalves, Garibaldi, Caxias, and so on.

This is a nice list but unfortunately the brazilian wine didnt have a chance yet to be recognised as a top wines like the argentinian and chilean wines from South America for example. In Europe is rare to find a brazilian wine in a restaurant unless you are going to a brazilian restaurant...

For anyone truly interested in discovering Brazil's growing wine industry, I have found a really nice reference guide located at the following web address - Brazilian Wine, Brazil wine region

Enjoy!

Wines produced in the south region of Brazil are the best.

Brazil is the 3rd largest wine manufacturer in South America. It has six different wine producing regions that include Serra Gaúcha, where Vale dos Vinhedos is situated, Serra do Sudeste, the country's newest winemaking area, and the São Francisco Valley, which has two harvests per year. The impressively wide range of Brazilian wines includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, together with other grapes such as Ancellota, Touriga Nacional, Malvasia Bianca and Prosecco.
