 Galicia, like many parts of this country, has been in the viniculture business since Roman times. In the Middle Ages the wines were among the favorites of the English. They would sail up the Miño River and buy cask after cask from the area surrounding Ribadavia. During the days of Philip II and his Armada, commercial ties were severed, however, and the English moved south to Portugal to invest in what would eventually become the internationally famous Port wine. Bad news for the Spanish; good news for the Portuguese.
