    “Parker’s Wine Bargains: The World’s Best Wine Values under $25 (published, 2009). “Portugal is full of fine values that manage to make it to international markets despite the exchange rate fluctuations that wreak havoc on retail pricing here… Plus, they come in distinctive blends that are hard to replicate elsewhere… s well as reasonably priced for the most part… Alentejo’s wines are immensely popular in Portugal. Transitionally, it is one of the go-to regions for value wines. The wines here are frequently called “international” for their tendency to blen red grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah with local grapes like Trincadeira, Alicante Bouchet (French, but perhaps at its best in southern Portugal), and others.””
