Beskrivelse
Traditionally the Port wine industry has been dominated by men. The business was historically driven by men, the winemakers were men and even most of the customers used to be men.
These days things have changed a lot when it comes to Port wine. Nowadays many young people enjoy consuming Port wine and a lot of them are women. Furthermore, it seems like the career of being a winemaker speaks to the heart of many young women. As if this wasn’t enough, the women also have big influence when it comes to the business part of Ports.
Many of these women represent the smaller producers and need strong representatives to get into a very traditional market. Torben Mandrup from DrikPortvin has dedicated his business to the small brands: Bulas, Vieira de Sousa, DR and Quinta de Marrocos. These four (small) brands have one thing in common: Their businesses are run by strong women.
To salute the women of Port wine in Denmark, DrikPortvin would like to invite you to an exclusive event, organized with the patronage of the Portuguese Ambassador in Denmark, João Maria Cabral. The event will take place at the Ambassador’s residence in Charlottenlund and will include short speeches by the producers, meeting the Portuguese Ambassador and of course the opportunity to taste a wide range of Port wines from the three producers. The event is a ‘walk and talk’ event.
The event takes place on Thursday, 24th November 2022, 19.00-21.00
This event is non-commercial. However, a deposit of 150,- will be charged upon registration (and refunded after the event, except in case of no-show).
The exact address will be provided upon registration. Dress code is formal yet still relaxed.
