When I visited wineries in Rioja in Northern Spain I learned that crianca (pronounced cree-Ann-ther) was young, basic wine. Crianca might make you think of the equivalent of the French vin de table, table wine.
Today I was reading the multi-language labels on goods from Daiso and found the Portuguese, on an item made in Brazil. Portuguese is similar to Spanish.
Keep out of reach of children - I found the word child - the same as the word on the wine. Easy to remember both.
Useful Websites
Duolingo languages you can learn for free, for English speakers, include Portuguese.
Toastmasters International
Portuguese printed material translated from the English, so you can compare with the original, or with words you hear often at Toastmasters Meeting.
Portuguese speaking Toastmasters club in Brazil welcomes others, eg from the USA, much of which is in the time zone or only an hour or two different.
