Port 2017: Vintage guide and what to buy
Over 25 recommendations to buy from this top vintage...
Port
Port wine is a fortified style from the Douro in Portugal. Vintage examples are famed for their longevity, while tawnys and LBVs are ready to drink much sooner.
Few traditions are as strong at Christmas as cheese and Port matching, but there are also some common mistakes to overcome – at the same time as paying your dues to festive tradition. See this guide to cheese and Port matching.
