About VERCOOPE

Vercoope is a union of seven wine cooperatives from the Vinho Verde region: Amarante, Braga, Guimarães, Famalicão, Felgueiras, Paredes and Vale de Cambra. It was created in 1964 with the aim of bottling, marketing and distributing the wine produced by the winegrowers of these cooperatives. The union has allowed the production of 4,000 winegrowers to be combined and launched on the national and international market, achieving greater quality, scale and competitiveness. The quality of the wines is recognised and proven by consumers, sales and the hundreds of awards won in wine competitions and specialist press. Vercoope produces 16 million bottles of Vinho Verde annually, 30% of which is for export market alone.
