Beer or Porto Wine? ... May be both!



Alfred Henry (Freddy) Heineken was born on November 4, 1923, in Amsterdam, Netherlands (d. January 3, 2002). He was a major stock holder and president of Heineken International, the brewing company bought in 1864 by his grandfather Gerard Adriaan Heineken in Amsterdam.


Antónia Adelaide Ferreira died in Lisbon on Nov 4, 1836 (b. in Évora on Aug 28, 1780). She was an important personality who developed the culture of wine in Douro and transform it in one of the most important industries in Portugal.

So... lets drink a beer with shrimps ... and after that with dessert (a sweet cake or some cheese) you must to taste a wonderful vintage Porto wine. Deal!
