The 2008 Specialist Importers Trade Tasting (SITT) award has been presented to ViniPortugal.
Voted for by SITT exhibitors and UK independent wine merchants, the award is given to an individual or company that stands out in the trade.
The company was highly commended for its bursary scheme, which supports Portuguese wine promotions and a UK tasting tour across different cities.
Ana Sofia de Oliveira accepted the award from sponsors Riedel Crystal.
She said: "The 2007 bursary scheme was seen as a great success and we are delighted to be helping the on-trade and independent wine merchants to promote Portuguese wines."
