Vinho Verde wines were active in New York this March 21-22, 2016, with 18 producers participating in the US Trade Tasting event at the Metropolitan Pavilion. This three-day trade fair brought members of all levels of the US wine trade and press together to form new importing and distributing relationships in the United States. The US is now the #1 market for Vinho Verde wines, in both volume and value of imports. From January 2015 through September 2015 US imports of Vinho Verde wines were up +14% in volume and an astonishing +34% in value from 2014.
