Timatic says the following regarding your situation:

National India (IN)             /Residence United Kingdom (GB)
Embarkation United Kingdom (GB) /Destination Portugal (PT)

[Visa Information - Destination] Portugal (PT)

[Information For Normal Passports]
Passport required.
- Passports and other documents accepted for entry must be
  valid for a minimum of 3 months beyond the period of
  intended stay. 

Visa required, except for Family members of a national of an
EEA Member State or Switzerland, with a residence permit
issued by United Kingdom to family members of a Union Citizen.
They are visa exempt for a maximum stay of 90 days.

[...]

Warning:
[...]
- Union Citizens are nationals of an EEA Member State and
  Switzerland who moved from the country of nationality to
  reside in another EEA Member State or in Switzerland.
  The visa exemption for family members of a Union Citizen
  applies if:
  - they travel with or to join the Union Citizen, and
  - the residence permit is issued by: 
  -- the country of residence, which must be different from
  the country of nationality of the Union Citizen, or
  -- the country of nationality of the Union Citizen, if the
  Union Citizen and family member returned within 6 months
  after departing from the country of residence.

So family members of Union Citizens don't require a visa, but you aren't one as you live in your country of nationality (the UK). Therefore, your wife would need a visa.

However, as @kiradotee points out, it should also be possible to get a visa on arrival:

Arriving at the border without an entry visa

It is always best for your non-EU family members to be well-informed in advance and have all the necessary documents before starting their journey.

However, if they arrive at the border with their passport but without an entry visa, the border authorities should give them the opportunity to prove by other means that they are family members of a mobile EU citizen. They can do so by providing proof of their identity and family ties with an EU citizen and, if travelling alone, proof that the EU citizen is already living in the host country. If they manage to prove it, they should be issued with an entry visa on the spot.

While an airline probably still wouldn't let you board (because they follow the Timatic rules), bus or ferry companies might not be as strict, so this might be a way to get to a Schengen country and then further to Portugal without having a visa in advance.

Can I travel to UK with UK residence permit?

Entry rules: UK visa or residence permit must have been used at least once to enter the UK before. UK visa or residence permit must be valid for at least 6 months from the day of arrival. Passport must be valid for at least 3 months from the day of arrival.

Can I travel with my residence permit?

Please note the biometric residence permit is not a travel document on its own and therefore will need to be shown alongside a passport at the border. However, the document is acceptable as a standalone document when demonstrating immigration status, identity, right to work and access to public benefits.

How long can you leave the UK with a residence permit?

You are allowed to spend time outside of the UK so long as these periods of absence do not exceed 6 months at any one time. It does not matter how much time you spend outside of the UK in total during the required 5-year continuous residence period provided you return each time after a maximum of 6 months.

Can I travel to UK with residence card?

If you hold a valid Article 10 or Article 20 residence card, you may be able to apply for an EEA family permit or an EUSS family permit. These applications are free of charge and will help facilitate your entry to the UK.
