VERCOOPE was founded by association of a group of Cooperative Wineries in 1964, belonging to the Demarcated Region of Vinhos Verdes. Its activity focuses on bottling and marketing the wines produced by its associates.

Vercoope is a union of seven Wine Cooperatives in the Vinho Verde Region: Amarante, Braga, Guimarães, Famalicão, Felgueiras, Paredes and Vale de Cambra. It was created in 1964 with the aim of bottling, marketing and distributing the wine produced by the winegrowers of these cooperatives. The union made it possible to combine the production of 4,000 winegrowers and launch it on the national and international market, achieving greater quality, size and competitiveness. The quality of the wines is recognized and proven by consumers, by sales and by the hundreds of awards won in wine competitions and the specialized press. Vercoope annually produces 8 million bottles of Vinho Verde, 30% of which for export.
