Brazil is situated close to the equator, because of which the climate here is very hot and humid. It is quite difficult to grow vines in this climate. As a result, you will find vine cultivations only in the southern part of Brazil, which is quite far from the equator and close to other wine-rich countries such as Argentina and Uruguay. Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state of Brazil accounts for 90% of the wine production in Brazil.

The Serra Gaucha region in this state is the most important winemaking area in this southernmost state and the area is known for producing full-bodied casual red wines that are crafted here. One of the famous types of wine that is made here is sparkling wine. The Brazilian culture and sparkling wines make for an excellent combination. Traditional, charmat and muscat styles are used for the vinification process in Brazil.

Today, there are close to 10000 hectares where vines are cultivated in Brazil. Around 150 wineries produce all types of wines here. If you want to get a true flavour of the culture and the Brazilian wines, you should visit the Brazilian Wine Country, situated at a distance of around 2 hours from the Porto Alegre airport. It is one of the most famous places in the country for wine tourism.
