The AEVP - Associação das Empresas de Vinho do Porto - is a private non-profit institution founded in January 1975, located in Vila Nova de Gaia.

The main purpose of AEVP, enshrined statutorily, is to "represent and protect the interests of its Members and the promotion and defense of Industry and Trade of the Port and Douro wines and other wine products of the Douro demarcated region in the entire country and foreign".

The AEVP brings together 16 Members who now account for about 90% of the sales of Port and 35% of Douro wines with PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) and PGI (Protected Geographical Indication), a rare percentage that reflects its positioning unquestioned in the industry and an essential importance in the operation of this.

AEVP holds the vice-presidency of the Interprofessional Council of the Instituto dos Vinhos do Douro e Porto (IVDP), which participates at various levels, and is the only representative of trade in the Port Wine Council this section.

The AEVP is present since 1990 in a European wine trade representative association called Comité Européen des Entreprises Vins (CEEV) in Brussels.
