Manuel Maria da Terra Brum (2 February 1825 – 11 July 1905) was a merchant, winegrower, and the third Baron of Alagoa on the island of Faial in the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores.
[1][2] Like his father before him, Manuel was one of the largest winegrowers on neighboring Pico Island, producing 1000 barrels (Portuguese: pipas) of Verdelho wine annually.
[1] A cultured and practical businessman, Brum dedicated his life to the "development of industry, agriculture, vineyards and noble exploration of all the sources of wealth in Faial and Pico".
"[1] Powdery mildew and phylloxera spread to the Azores in 1852 and 1873, respectively, destroying vineyards and ruining the livelihoods of poor inhabitants of Pico and rich property owners of Horta alike.
On 28 November 1859 he was one of the founders of the fraternal Sociedade Amor da Pátria (Love of the Fatherland Society), serving as its president for several years.
