Contrary to what an embargo brings, in the mid fifties I am told were golden 
years. Loads of azeite de OLIVEIRA (good to mix for a russian salad), Vinho 
Tinto etc in Goa. In 1961, it has been documented that the bharats pillaged  
red wine and transported it by heli copters to their home.

Came across this website when I googled "Documento para Viagem" to
resuscitate my memory of the travel papers required by Bombay Goans when
going to visit Goa during the Indian blockade  of 1954 that was put in place
to punish the Portuguese in Goa. The site has a copy of that document.
