Suddenly, I was called to the tasting room by the tournament assistant.

He said that he would like to arrange wine for TV coverage. Sakama-san and I will be photographed together.

You didn't ask me anything. just take a picture.

It's frustrating, so I tried to appeal, "I'm introducing Japanese original grape wine" or "Portuguese wine was first introduced to Japan during the Azuchi-Momoyama period." Not sure if.


・When I returned to the venue, I was in the middle of Q&A


Q. What will happen to grape varieties in the era of global warming

There are 100 varieties of A. Douro Porto.

Global warming, climate change is not a handicap but an advantage for us.

It is more diverse and resistant to change than other areas.

It can also handle water stress and temperature stress.

Q.How does technology change?

A. Take care of traceability. AI will also be used. It also responds to consumer trends and demand for low tannins. The Institute will do its best to support you.

About the future of Q.DOC

A. Strengthen investment and firmly protect DOC and brand.

 We will check all counterfeit products (wine that calls itself Port, etc.) and strongly protect the Douro Porto name from being used without permission. There was applause.

Q. About the Brotherhood (Wine Knights)

A. Until the democratization of Portugal in the 1960s and 1970s, there was a Brotherhood, but it was restricted and not much recognized. It is increasing now.
