The story of this brand begins with Prohibition. It was 1900 when the USA placed a huge order for brandy with Portugal. Several years passed and no operator wanted to take the risk until the century-old Portuguese company Carvalho, Ribeiro & Ferreira decided to move forward with a proposal and joined forces in a highly innovative production process in Portugal, with semi-automatic production. Together with the American client, after long discussions, they decided on the product's name: Kaiser. Production took place and all the bottles were sent to their destination. Shortly afterwards, the Prohibition era of 1920 began, and many of them were returned to Portugal. This was the beginning of Prohibition. The bottles did not return to the United States, and the company decided to change its name to 1920 in homage to this peculiar beginning, in order to launch a brand from scratch with the same quality profile. 1920 gained enormous prominence in European countries due to its quality, becoming one of the best-selling brandies in Portugal. It's the perfect break for many Portuguese people."
