It was established in 1756 and has played an unquestionably important role in the Port wine market since then. Port wine exports to Brazil were significantly lower than exports to England over time. Generally, the oscillation of Port wine exports to Brazil has been explained by particular episodes in the Douro Wine Company’s business. Employing structural break analysis and vector of error correction models to analyse data between 1756 and 1826, we concluded that Port wine exports to Brazil were robustly explained by the monetary dimensions of the world economy of the time.[+][-]

emblemáticas del Marqués de Pombal. Se fundó en 1756y desempeñó un papel incuestionable en el mercado de vino de Oporto desde entonces. Las exportaciones de vino de Oporto a Brasil fueron significativamente menores que las exportaciones a Inglaterra a lo largo del tiempo. En general, la oscilación de las exportaciones de vino de Oporto a Brasil se ha explicado por episodios concretos en los negocios de la Compañía de Vinos del Duero. El empleo de análisis de ruptura estructural y de modelos de vectores de corrección de errores para analizar los datos entre 1756 y 1826 nos lleva a concluir que las exportaciones de vino de Oporto a Brasil se explican mejor por las dimensiones
monetarias de la economía mundial en ese periodo.[+][-]
