The Society is Portuguese Wine Retailer of the Year

I was delighted to receive on behalf of The Society the National Retailer Award in the 2011 Portuguese Wine Awards, for the second time in three years. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our members for making this possible and for their continued support.

The Society, with the excellent support of ViniPortugal, was one of the first UK wine merchants to discover the new generation of Portuguese growers behind this welcome resurgence and to promote their wines. Each year our range continues to expand and diversify. We have only been able to do this thanks to the high number of members who follow our recommendations and buy these delicious wines.

It is a real pleasure to have been able to bring these wines to a wider audience in recent years, through offers dedicated to Portuguese wines (the latest closes tomorrow!) and through our highly successful tasting of Portuguese wines in London last November, which attracted over 300 Wine Society members. More and more members are enjoying Portuguese wines, and there will be more new wines to look out for over the coming year.

So, thank you for your support. There will be more new wines to look out for over the coming year.
