The Port wine industry, deeply embedded in Portuguese heritage, is undergoing a period of significant transformation. Facing declining consumption, shifting demographics, and intensifying global competition, traditional Port houses must seek innovative avenues for
growth. This thesis explores strategic diversification through the development of a Porto Rum Cluster, a collaborative ecosystem where Port wine producers leverage their heritage, barrels, and distribution channels to produce premium rum aged in Port casks. Using the case of Scoundrels Distilling as a proof of concept, this study assesses the operational feasibility, market trends, supply chain structure, and go-to-market strategy for launching a premium, Portuguese-branded rum. Through frameworks like Porter’s Value Chain and STP
(Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning), the analysis demonstrates how storytelling, sustainability, and cross-category innovation can revitalize legacy wine brands. The research concludes that a Porto-based premium rum initiative is both culturally resonant and commercially promising, offering a path toward long-term value creation for the broader spirits industry in Portugal.
