On 16 December, at 2.30 p.m., Universidade Portucalense will host the conference “Is the Portuguese wine sector prepared to face the challenges of the future?”. Marking the 50th anniversary of ANCEVE, the event invites key stakeholders to discuss this rapidly changing industry.
The round table will feature Luís Filipe Cardoso Lourenço (ASAE), Francisco Toscano Rico (IVV), Helena Freitas (University of Coimbra), Luís Sequeira (CVRA), Pedro Soares (CVR Bairrada), José Luís Santos Lima Oliveira da Silva (Casa Santos Lima), and Bebiana Monteiro (ESEIG). The discussion will be moderated by António Freitas de Sousa, from Jornal Económico. The event will also feature a speech on geopolitics by Ambassador António Martins da Cruz.
At a particularly challenging time for the sector, the conference will reflect on changes in consumer habits, the growing importance of wine tourism, the effects of climate change, and supervision demands.
