"Alforí" is an Arabic word that means: barn, grain store: wheat, cereals. Therefore, land of wheat, ferment and cereals. And, later, also of wine. As an example, it must be said that there were 64 wineries in the municipality in 1940. Currently there are only six that combine the winemaking tradition and modern technology. The wines of the Alforins and those of the rest of the region belong to the Denomination of Origin Valencia, "Clariano" subzone.
