The Douro Valley is considered one of the oldest legally defined wine-growing regions in the world. The borders were already defined in 1756. For more than two centuries, only port wine was produced, table wines (in the sense of non-fortified wines) were only produced on a larger scale from 1979. While it used to be the case that the best grapes were always used for port wine, some estates now give priority to red table wine.
