comma before 'where' [conjunction]: except in Portugal, where this

[docbritto]

Finally, the flavor X varieties are preferred by younger consumers, except in Portugal, where this is true only for Y.

Is the red comma necessary?

No, it's not necessary. English is not as strict as Russian.

I don't know why it did that. It looked normal on my window, before I posted it. Anyways, I'll keep an eye on the fonts from now on.

If "where" means "in Portugal" do you really need a comma there?
