In Portugal this term refers to wines which come from a demarcated region. Portugal was 25 years ahead of France’s 1855 Appellation d’Origine Contr”lée (AOC) in classifying “quality wine.” There are currently nine Denominacao de Origem Controlada (DOC) or Regiao Demarcada (RD) wine regions.
Since joining the European Common Market, an additional 30 areas have been identified by the phrase Indicacao de Provenienca Regulamentada (IPR) or Vinhos de Qualidad Produzides em Regiao Determinada (VQPRD).

The current list of IPR/VQPRD’s include:

1. Algarve (4 sub regions)
2. Chaves
3. Valpacos
4. Planalto Mirandes
5. Encotas da Nave
6. Varosa
7. Castelo Rodrigo
8. Cova de Beira
9. Pinhel
10. Alcobaça
11. Encostas de Aire
12. Obidos
13. Almeirim
14. Cartaxo
15. Chamusca
16. Coruche
17. Santarem
18. Tomar
19. Alenquer
20. Arruda
21. Torres
22. Arrabida
23. Palmela
24. Borba
25. Portalegre
26. Redondo
27. Reguengos
28. Vidiguera
29. Estremoz
30. Evora
