It is a dessert liqueur. Not wine.
As for Azorean table wines, there is one from Pico called Basalto that is a very nice red. Otherwise, seek wines from the mainland (Douro, Alentejo, Dao regions). Summer is ideal for vinhos verdes. Some are produced rather cheaply and over-carbonated (Gatao, Lagosta, and Mateus are in this category). Really nice one, not expensive, served very cold is Casal Garcia. Probably the best quality vinho verde is Palacio da Brejoeira. You'll pay a little more but it is great quality. Here in Nashville, it has taken us a while to educate various wine stores to get these wines in but they are finally catching on and everyone is happier.
