Producer
Pitters
Pitters is a Port wine brand, not a separately identifiable producer with certainty. Documents relating to the brand’s former ownership by MBWS state that Pitters-branded bottled Port was supplied by UNIÃO, a wholly owned subsidiary of Gran Cruz. It cannot be verified whether this applies to the 1 L bottle listed.

The story
The William Pitters brand was created in 1920 by Émile Greloud & Cie. In 2019, the brand was sold to International Drinks Limited, a company of The Fladgate Partnership group. However, French Competition Authority documents identify UNIÃO as the supplier under the former MBWS ownership; the sources consulted do not identify the actual producer of the 1 L bottle.
Production philosophy
The brand’s website emphasizes Port wine tradition and the Douro’s traditional grape varieties. This describes the brand’s identity but does not verify who produced the specific bottle.
Territory
Douro, Portugal, according to the brand’s official website; not verified as the production location of the specific 1 L bottle.
