Viticulture in pre‐independence Brazil

Abstract

Grape cultivation and winemaking appear to have been introduced into Brazil by the Portuguese, after 1500. However, viticulture during the colonial period was of limited success, for a variety of reasons. Environmental conditions were unsuitable and Portuguese commercial policy sought to protect domestic production and to use Brazil as a market for wine from the Douro and elsewhere. Only with the arrival of immigrants from the Açores, Germany and Italy was a modest wine industry established in southern Brazil in the 19th century.
