- Meet a winemaker and learn their story. One of the best parts of drinking wine is getting to know the place where it came from and the people who made it!
- Learn about the grapes. Vince breaks down wine topics easily and makes them fun and easy to understand!

I drank Mateus and Lancers rose wines in college and that was the mid 70's!
My parents said they were drinking it then too!
Going to Portugal in September so very happy to find this episode.
Portuguese wine rocks. I am a huge port fan. Drink it quite often, but Vinho Verde is a massive go to for me.. white or rose. Did a Portuguese tasting meal a few weeks ago 6 courses. Only Portuguese wines and dishes. The best pairing was the lingusia soup with the Duorum red. Ended with a vintage Quinta do Noval….
Beautiful! I agree I love Portuguese wine. That dinner sounds great. By the way, our Port episode comes out next week!!
@@visforvino i will watch for it!
I spent a summer in Portugal once, spent time in Lisboa, Sintra, Cascais, Estoril, Algarve, Batalha, Nazare. It was all beautiful, incredible food, wine and people and the scenery is spectacular. I need to go back.
You nailed it. It's the total package.
Portugal had a wine that provides so much value. Seriously underrated.
100% agree
Portugal, when it comes to wine = bang for the buck!
100%!
Europe is more relax than in the US. We work too hard here that we forget to “LIVE”.
Agreed!!
Portugal is flat out spectacular... The people, the wine, the culture, and the food! I'm aiming to move there by next year. Nice job Vince.
Congrats, I hope you get to go! Wonderful people!
🤣🤣🤣
I have noticed you hav a nose similar to Jonny Carson. Check it out….
Love this episode! It actually inspired our trip to Portugal. The only mistake I made was thinking that Honra de Azevedo was open to the public for tasting. Still an amazing trip with wonderful wines to taste!
Yes!!! That’s so awesome, I’m so happy we could help! Thanks for watching!
When I grow up, I want to be like Luis from Herdade do Peso
Went to Lisboa on my Naval deployment in 2005, everything from food, to wine, to sights, unforgettable, one of my best ports ever. My last one too, hope to see you again in the future Portugal 🇵🇹. Obrigado. 💙
I hope to visit again one day!!
Looking into a trip next year to Portugal! Thanks for all the information, very helpful and fun!
So glad it helped!!
My wife and I loved this show. The reveal about the shape of the Mateus bottle was fascinating. As a college student in the early 1960's , Mateus was a must purchase if you wanted to impress a girl with your wine sophistication. Plus , they made great candle holders. The other Portuguese wine at that level was Lancer's. We were in Portugal last March and at a wine tasting at Jose Maria De Fonseca , we were surprised to see that they still make a variety of Lancer's. Coincidentally , an empty Lancer's bottle also made a great candle holder. Watching you made us realize how much we loved Portugal and we're planning a return.
You’re not alone! I’ve had so many people reach out and say Mateus was an important part of they’re growing up. It was cool to tell a story that was important to so many.
My wife and I live in coastal Portugal! I have not found a wine I didn’t enjoy! Throw a dart and enjoy for 4 or 5 euro. Love your videos!
I sold mostly sold more Vinho Verde , Mateus Rose and big varieties of Ports but I learnt lot today different varieties especially Papa Figos. This is the third episodes I have watched and looking forward more to come. Thanks. Narinder Singh from The Nest London
Narinder - thank you! Glad you found the channel, and definitely check out some of the other episodes, I think you’d enjoy them!!
I hate that mainstream youtube videos are all nonsense like mukbang 🤦♀️, keep doing what you love cause what you bring out in the internet are awesome!
Aw, thank you so much!
Portugal has developed enormously in 20-30 years. When I visited the country in the nineties for the first time the food in most places was mediocre and the red wines were often quite harsh and - dare I say - a tad rustic. Some Dão's I took (magnums) needed 20 years to be drinkable. But today it's one of the most interesting European countries for wine-addicts, thanks to their own grape-varities, the clever blending and the hands of skilled winemakers. I recently bought some boxes with Alentejo-wines, absolute bargains for the quality they offer. A few leading winemakers are Australians. Also the Portugese cuisine has made huge steps forwards. Lovely country with beautiful nature and most inviting people. Now I want to visit it again. )
Interesting to hear how it’s evolved! I’m glad it’s where it is now, it’s one of my favorite countries both for wine and visiting.
Great video about one of my favorite countries & easily one of my favorite wine regions. I could spend a lifetime drinking only wines from Portugal & want for nothing. We should stop focusing on the value of their wines, & start emphasizing the incredible quality.
Thank you so much! I agree! I think the "value" helped get them in the door for the a lot of consumers, but I feel like the next 10 years will spent putting Portuguese wines in the same category of the top wine regions in the world!
#BRAVO ❤🇱🇨!!!
Fantastic up load,.. Portugal so underrated in so much including the wines , this vid shows it & yet this vid doesn't even touch the Madeira or the Azores wines especially from Pico island,. Small land mass country but boy does it pack a punch in the quality of living department,, CHEERS! amigo with a glass of great Portuguese wine ... :)
Thanks you! Yes, hoping for a Madeira episode soon!
This is fantastic content. Thanks a lot
Awesome, keep up the great work.
Superb. What gem this channel is!
Oui, très très beau pays !!! Les portugais sont accueillants, très gentils et feraient n'importe quoi pour vous faire plaisir... et que de merveilles à visiter ! Le Nord est superbe et la vallée du Douro magnifique !!! Pays très attachant
Merci!!!
Lisbon. Easily my favourite city in Europe! Amazing video like always.
Thank you. And yes, It’s now up there for me too!! Such a wonderful place.
This is probably the best recent production on Portuguese wine. Epic job done! 🎉 I wish there could be a sample bundle for this episode tho
Thank you! Id check your local market for these wines; many are pretty widely distributed!
Hi Vince, so happy to see Season 4 online. Made my day!! Thanks!
Yay! And we've still got a 2 more episodes in the new season to come!
This has the same quality of much bigger budget productions. Very Well done! Became a fan. Deserves much more views and likes.
Thank you! Yes, we work really hard to keep the quality high, and I really appreciate you noticing! Excited for you to check out some of our other episodes!
This was All Awesome! And we appreciate the hard work that goes into it - obrigado
Thank you so much, it’s one of my favorite episodes we’ve ever done!
We head to Portugal in June. This video was most informative. I am definitely thinking of going to Evora. Thank you!
So glad it helped! FYI, all the locations are listed on our website if it helps!
I've seen several of your videos and I really like this one, in particular. You share more about how V is for Vino is a family that travels and meets and experiences. I like the inclusiveness and openness. Although, I've never been to Portugal, I have been to Brazil -- where I learned the meaning of the word, soldade... and thanks for the geekier moments. Salut~
Thanks Douglas, I'm so glad you noticed. As we've grown, it's been more fun to have moment that include the crew and show our adventures together. I'm luck to have them!
This is simply outstanding! Amazing video for an amazing country- I’m looking forward to getting back to see (and taste !) all that I missed the first time. Thank you!
Thanks Fabio! It really is a wonderful place. I can't wait to get back as well!
This channel is so good and immensely underrated. I love the content you all put out.
Appreciate it!! Glad you found us!
Going to portugal soon. Using this as a guide Thanks!
Have fun!
what an amazing ep!!! makes me want to go. thanks from little ol New Zealand!!!
New Zealand is going to happen someday soon for sure!!!
Thank you for this great video Portugal can’t wait to make the trip myself. 🤗
Thanks for watching, hope you get to visit!
Fantastic episode. Thank you.
Thank you! One of my favorites for sure!
Thoroughly enjoyable. An excellent video.
Thanks Craig!
Thank you for the information. Im using your stops as a guide to plan my trip to Portugal!
Of course, glad it helped! Make sure to check out the Porto episode as well!
Please keep making these videos! So amazing and insightful
We will! More to come!
We visited Portugal, primarily Porto and the Duoro Valley 2 months ago, and Vince covered the country, the cuisine, and of course the wine beautifully in this episode and the Porto episode #VinoVIP
Thank you Chris! It truly is some of the most amazing travel we’ve done both for the show and personally. I love that country, and I’m so happy we did it justice. Thanks for being a Vino VIP; you’ve already seen the big surprise in the season finale; everyone else will just have be patient!! 😂
Great episode! It looks like you had a really good time in Portugal. I loved the wine glass segment.
Thanks man! It’s an amazing country. We were lucky to be able to visit!
I'm going to Lisbon in 2 weeks so this came out at the perfect time. Amazing production! I now know some grape names to look for, and also to simply try things I don't recognize!
Yes, perfect timing! Have a blast, Lisbon truly is a remarkable city, you’re going to have so much fun!
This is just fantastic!!
Thank you!!! 🤩
Fantastic video. Portugal is now added on my bucket list🍷
It should be, it’s amazing! 👍
I love the nerd labs that you do. The crystal glass that broke was funny. My sentiments as well! I'm soooo sad when a crystal glass breaks or chips... "why?!!!!!" 😂
hahaha WHY?!
Amazing vino! Love your passion for wines and only show on TH-cam with indepth knowledge of wines. #iwatchedtotheend for the algorithm
Yes! Thank you - so excited for you to see the rest of the season!
Great content about the world of wine!I totally love it!just hope you to
come to Spain in future,in Rioja,Priorat,Ribera del Duero or any of the dozens of regions we have here!Great episode in Galicia by the way,some of the best fish you will find..Keep the good work!Thanks
Thank you!! And trust me, those are on the list. ESPECIALLY Rioja - its a personal favorite of mine!
By the end of October after the harvest ,its the best time to go to Rioja,with thousands of colors in the Vineyards!also there are plenty of beautiful old towns like San Vicente,Briones ,Laguardia and many others! and of course plenty of great food and wine!Looking forward to watch your next videos!very good content!Cheers🍷🍷
Fantastic episode- we followed your route to the speakeasy and had an outstanding experience!
Yay, that's so awesome!
This feels so much like a show I'd see on PBS or pre-gameshow Food Network. Fantastic work!
Thanks! 😃
Criminally underrated. Blows me away once again Vino. Loved the extra graphics in this season (specifically the graphic describing what it was aged in). Really stepped your game up for this one, but it was already amazing! Excited for more!
Thank you so much, you are the best!! I agree, the crew and I worked hard to make this the best season yet, and means the world it’s being appreciated!!!
just discovered this channel and truly cant believe this does not have 1000X the views, this show has the production value equal to anything I see on discovery/travel channel.
Thank you! We work really hard, and that is so nice to hear!
Excited for season 4! Your improvement in production and video quality is massive. great work. The only thing i knew about wine from Portugal before this episode was...Port. I now need to visit Portugal for the coffee, wine, people, and landscape. I also understand they are extremely energy self sufficient, which i find really cool.
Thank you! Yes, I agree, I feel we really stepped it up this season. We have a Port episode coming as the last episode of the season too, so we’ll talk all about that as well!
Vince! Great production, we are moving to Portugal. You just planned our fall harvest trips ❤️. You need your own show too _-
Thank you for the kind words!! So happy I got to give you a little taste of the country!!
Great video! I’d love to eat and drink my way through the entire country, slowly.
It’s worth doing, I promise! And thank you! 😃😃
What a fantastic episode and beginning to your Season 4. Portugal is on my bucket list. I’m retiring on July 1, 2022, so I will look forward to experiencing some of the wine regions you featured. 🙏🏼
Thank you! Portugal should absolutely be high on your list, it’s one of my favorites! Congrats on retirement, can’t wait for you to travel!!
amazing job, classy production and excellent content, well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent job with this video! It appeals to the whole family, not just the wine professionals.
Thank you! That's always been my goal, so that makes me so happy to hear!
@@visforvino 🥂
you should have million subscribers… Your videos are amazing!!!
Thank you, we're on our way I hope!
Your channel is so sofisticated and everything that you need to learn and want to hear from a wine expert is included and inserted in a part of the show .
Really grateful and thankful 🙏
Thanks Viktor, so glad you're enjoying the show!!
Wonderful content. Greetings from Brazil. I'm a new follower here in your channel!
Thank you, so good to have you!!
Amazing work, new fan here!
Thanks and welcome!
Well done Vince! We visited Portugal a few years ago...did a Douro River cruise. I've been a fan of Portugal's wines since that time. Vinho Verde is my summertime go-to for hanging by the pool and for a starter wine for dinners. Looking forward to the next episode!!!
Thank you, I would love to do a cruise like that; all the way into Spain!
@@visforvino Yes, it went into Spain...not far...but, into Spain!
Ahahaha yeah 6 hours from one end to another,that's literally most of Europe! You tale 1 wrong turn and end up in different country! Happened to me already!
😂😂
Great Video! Thank you. It would be nice to see Portugal attempt at a sparking wine.. It could be successful.
I wonder if they do somewhere in the country...interesting!
@@visforvino Vince, send that out to your wine maker friends in PT and let's see what's happens :)
😍
You should come to Switzerland! There is an amazing wine culture here that is very much underrated since almost everything is consumed locally ;). Yet, it features a very interesting terroir with the rocky Apls and many lakes - beautiful scenery like the Vineyard Terraces of Lavaux. And great indigenous grapes such as Cornalin or Petite Arvine.
You're not the first to tell me that! I'd been to the country a long time ago, but never for wine tasting. I hope we can come!
Congratulations, outstanding work. A breath of fresh air. You have a new subscriber.
Just a (intended as constructive) remark: aim to worldwide audiences, do not let Nerd Labs or any other segments show Farenheit only, as in the wine fridge and the optimal wine temperatures. I can understand that on a graphics point of view it is easier and efficient to get a big 55 "inside" the fridge but that is impactful only for USA audience. You have great communication skills and a chance to capture the imagination of younger generations. You have the potential to be for wine what Carl Sagan was to science and younger generations worldwide. I'm dead serious. You guys (all team) are that good. Keep up the excellent work!
Monsal, thank you so much for this! First off, so happy to have you here and that you’re enjoying the videos! And appreciate the advice. I think I had some Celsius temps (graphics) underneath, but they were admittedly smaller. I Should have worked them into the script. Good to know going forward. I appreciate the kind words, and am so excited for you to see the rest of this season! 4 more episodes in the next few weeks!!!
Thanks
Thank you Craig!
My daughter works at Evaton .
Great company, was so wonderful to partner with them!
I recently came across this channel and have been watching the episodes in sequence. Vince, you and your crew knock it out of the park each and every time! 👍
So happy to have you on board!!
I counted and this is the 14th time I'm watching this episode. Love this season but love this episode the most. I actually put Portugal on my bucket list because of your show. I can actually picture myself eating good food and drinking good wine, travelling cross country ( just like you!)
YES! I hope you get to do it, its so accessible and a blast. Thanks for watching the new season, so glad you enjoyed!
Viva Christo Rey
Amazing content 👌 👏 ✨️
Thank you!!
please do let me know when you come and make videos for Romanian wine!! I can drive and be the cameraman. I have my cameras, drones, and most importantly an enthusiastic about wine!!! just being able to travel with you through Romanian wineries are very good study for me even at the cost of my own gasoline and stuff!
Thank you so much for the offer! How amazing. I would love to see Romania one day, I don’t know much about it! Really appreciate it, and hopefully one day we can come shoot there!
@@visforvino waiting !! ☺️
Regarding the wines, great job. But regarding the place to visit in Minho such a bad selection. The heart of the vinho verde is the alto minho so you should have gone to viana do castelo, ponte de lima or places like that, never braga. Or if you want to go to the best and most beautiful city in the region which is also the craddle of Portugal and which is also a great place to try vinho verde you should have gone to Guimarães. It puts braga in a corner, its a live museum.
My wife and I love your channel. I recently started recording videos of our trips too, but unfortunately my equipment were stolen in Italy. In your advertisement pitch I noticed your female colleague has nice and slick equipment. Do you mind sharing the camera, mic and gimbal information she’s using. Thank you in advance 🙏
Of course!! Sorry to hear your gear got stolen. We run a Sony rig. The smallest rig is a Zhiyun gimbal, Sony A6400, and rode wireless go ii. But we also have A7 and A7S3 with larger gimbals for some of our other crew!
🥂
Thanks Preston!
Theuy Are brazilian!🎉
I don't know what kind of show everyone is watching here, but I gotta tell ya, Antonio looks as attractive as the wine he produces 😂😍
😂😂
Great video. I live in Braga. This video is on point. I don’t like Donna Julia, it is over rated, the food is not good, but the ambiance is nice.
Thank you! Next time I come to Braga, I'll have to get your recommendations!
False information at 03:19. That is not a fair comparison of Argentina and USA as they are on different scales. Argentina is 25-30% larger than that. Otherwise awesome episode!
You went to Casa Ferreirinha and don't try the Barca Velha? Why?
Wish we could have! Our goal is usually to try wines that can be easily found and purchased by a lot of people, and that wine can be tough to find and out of most peoples price point. But I do wish I could have tried it! Next time for sure!
Haven't seen on your episodes Tokaji wine (Hungary) , the wine of the Kings and the King of the wines)
I would love to do a Hungry episode, they make some amazing non dessert wines too!!
Beautiful country with beautiful people...food ...wine ...culture etc...but very few Portuguese people speak English.... I am Brazilian canadian living in lisbon... trust me...not many people speak English
I love your program....learnt a lot about wine...and all my friends think u are funny cute and extremely sexy.... for me ...very adorable too.
😁
Thanks Rafael! I think the younger generation perhaps speaks more english than the older one. What I did notice is that even if they didn't speak english, they still tried to help! Cheers, hope to visit Brazil one day too!
Most people do not speak English, but a lot of people is basically able to communicate in English. Much more than in other European countries and certainly much more than in Brazil.
Best coffee made with Italian machines ☺️😂 Ask them how they call the short coffe/espresso regionally in Porto or Lisbon one was Cimbalino from the Cimbali machines ahah I lived in PORTUGAL for one year and it was the place where I felt more similarity to Italy as Italian, especially to the Italy I lived and loved in the 90’. I think it’s one my favorite countries but don’t think people where most of the time so welcoming especially in the north but you get use to that. People have very close mind
Interesting about the coffee machines!
@@visforvino yes :) Uma Bica too
Not very welcoming, particularly in the north. Well, that is your experience. Opposite to what most people usually say about Portuguese people. Closed mind? …
@@lsvmuk That's my idea. You can take it or not, I'm free to express my opinion right? I think I was long enough to be able to say what I saw. Of course if one goes for tourism or for work, if they welcome someone who gives them visibility they are always welcoming to everyone in all places of the world. But nobody who lived there for a long time (French, Spanish, German, Italian, Chinese, etc.) told me that the Portuguese are a welcoming people. You just get used to their way of doing things. Before speak travel and go to see a little outside. Once we were three people in a restaurant in Porto we were three people and we went in together with another couple. There were only two tables with two chairs each. The couple sat down and we too, the waiter went to get another chair. But when another one came he said the chair couldn't stay there and made us get up and leave. The couple (they were British) said we could join their table, an argument eventually ensued and we all left. Then I have often seen houses rented out with rooms without windows and without even making it clear that they didn't have them because now in almost all places in Europe it is normal to have a window in the room, indeed it is illegal not to have one. If you pointed it out, you were the weird one, not them. And it wasn't once, it was the norm. And I could do so many other examples.
@@stefanocunietti5643 Of course, you are entitled to have your opinion. We have not yet been occupied by Russia. For the same reason, I am entitled to have an opinion about your opinion.
It is not true that people, everywhere, are nice when they are dealing with foreigners, if these are tourists or for work, as you say. There are very good examples of countries in Europe, for example, well known for not treating tourists well or discriminating against foreign workers. Do I need to give more specific examples? At least, I am sure you know one of them.
What a long of list people, from various countries, who do not consider Portuguese people specially nice. Are you sure you have not forgotten any country? Well, I could also give you a list of people from those same countries and some other countries, who have a completely different opinion about Portuguese people. People who live or have lived in Portugal. For example, none of my close family members were born or live in Portugal. My British in laws are going again to Portugal, within a week, as they have done for at least 20 years. Main reason: Portuguese people.
Highest consumption of wine per capita
I love u❤
😀😀😀
The are Brasil! 😂
The people are not welcoming. The language is extremely difficult and the food is in fact terrible. The wine is spectacular.
In Portugal's case, V is for VinHo.
Either way, Portugal is very far from the 'best' European country, it's a very negligent, disorganized nation - the exception goes for the quality of its wines and modesty or timidity of its producers in exporting them with much - really much - higher prices than they are sold.
Haha I like “v is for vinho”
Typical Portuguese, to show off table wines that they want to sell, when in fact casa ferreirinha also has some of the most expensive wines in portugal… if you want to sell more wine then you have to sell people a feeling, a dream not affordability.
I will travel on a river cruise in Spain and Portugal. We end in Porto to fly back, but another guest and I would like to stay an extra day to see the city. Would you have a recommendation for a place to stay? I’d appreciate any suggestions. 🙏🏼
