Portuguese Port and Wine Producers Face Crisis in Douro Valley: Urgent Alarm Raised

Archyde Dark Clouds Gather Over Portugal’s Douro Valley as wine Producers Face Crisis 葡萄牙杜罗河谷的葡萄酒生产商正面临着前所未有的挑战,多年来,该地区的葡萄种植者一直面临着产量过剩、消费习惯的变化以及对更严格政府监管的担忧,这些因素共同导致了一场潜在的危机。 subsidy to Destroy Grapes? 葡萄牙杜罗河谷上空阴云密布,今年很可能成为历史上葡萄酒和波特酒庄首次获得补贴来销毁部分葡萄的一年。 小型和中型生产商尤其感到担忧。维克多·赫代罗就是其中之一。赫代罗说:“我决定接管这些葡萄园,因为我的父母年纪太大了。”他的祖父曾经开始耕种这片土地。“杜罗河地区从未经历过这样的危机,”这位葡萄酒商说道。 The Root Causes of the Crisis 赫代罗列举了造成这种局面的几个原因。首先,越来越多的地方在种植葡萄。据赫代罗说,市场变得饱和了。由于丘陵地区,在这里种植葡萄的成本更高。因此,他们无法与来自西班牙和智利的大量葡萄酒竞争。 此外,喝波特酒的人越来越少。而通常,他们可以以更高的价格出售用于酿造波特酒的葡萄。为了不生产过量的波特酒,政府不断制定更严格的规定。 最后,该地区的许多农民看到更便宜的西班牙葡萄酒被走私过境,并被当作来自杜罗河谷的葡萄牙葡萄酒出售。赫代罗抱怨说:“没有严格的控制。”“实际上只允许卸载一批货物的卡车,带着同样的单据多次去合作社或出口公司卸货,而当局却没有注意到。” Government and Producer Responses Casa do Douro是一个由该地区的葡萄酒和波特酒庄组成的组织, 该组织的主席鲁伊·帕雷德斯也看到了这种情况的发生。“过去,由于控制和执行力度不足,”他承认。“欧盟内部商品的自由流动在过去被错误地解读为不受控制地进口外国葡萄酒的借口。”他坚信现在问题已经显现出来,可以采取措施解决这个问题。 生产商组织对政府原则上同意向农民提供补贴感到高兴。“我们必须防止出现过剩,这样葡萄酒就不会以低廉的价格出售。” 从长远来看,生产商希望向政府提出不同的策略。例如,将多余的葡萄酒转化为白兰地,这也是酿造波特酒所需要的。在发酵过程中,白兰地会被添加到波特酒中。目前,这些利口酒都是进口的。 José Leite Pereira代表着Cave Santa Marta,这是一家加工小农户葡萄的合作社。他也认为解决方案必须尽快出台。“在过去的两年里,我们的产量减少了20%。如果你突然不得不上交20%的产量,没有哪个行业能够生存下去。” Clear Rules Needed Leite Pereira说:“许多农民不知道他们年底是否还能卖掉他们的葡萄。”他认为,政府必须为下一个收获季制定明确的规则,以改善这种局面。但与此同时,葡萄牙政府刚刚倒台,选举要到5月中旬才举行,这让一切变得更加不确定。 他们认为,政府应该优先考虑杜罗河谷。Leite Pereira叹息道:“我们位于联合国教科文组织世界遗产地区。而且,那里的景观至关重要。如果小型葡萄酒商停止种植葡萄,转而种植果树,那里的景观将会发生巨大的变化。吸引游客的世界遗产将从杜罗河地区消失。” 对像农民维克多·赫代罗这样的当地居民来说,这将是一场灾难。他还认为,如果这种情况继续下去,杜罗河地区将会不复存在。“这将导致一场巨大的社会灾难。在三到四年内,这可能意味着该地区的终结。当地居民在这里没有其他工作,将会面临饥饿和贫困。” The Douro Valley’s … Read more
