Holy smoke, I own a VHS copy of this video at home LOL... Time flies... Seriously, it's worth seeing! Cheers to all the port wine lovers :-)

Hi, Greetings From Mumbai, India. I am a Great Lover Of Port Wine as I am an Indian Catholic Christian Of Portuguese Descent from the Former Portuguese Colony of Goa On The West Coast Of India. In Goa, Port Wine is abundantly available. There are several brands of Port Wine available for sale in Goa. I have been drinking Port Wine From The Age of 10 specially for Family Lunch and Dinner over a week end. Port Wine is really awesome in more ways than one. Port is my favourite Wine along with Classic Italian Red Wine namely Chianti. I totally dig anything and everything connected with Portuguese Food an d Portuguese Culture. Douro is my Favourite Wine Producing Region in Portugal. This is an Awesome, Amazing, and Informative Video.

This is very interesting! At 7:55 what João Nicolau de Almeida wanted to say was that the Schist is in a vertical position, not horizontal, but this a very important factor many times overlooked. It's fascinating to see those thin roots just exploring the fissures in the schist trying to survive! At 14:17 there's a good graph to take away. Found it funny to see Port & Tonic was already being talked about 20 years ago at 15:03! Thank you for producing and sharing this :)

I have a bottle of Porto Kopke Fine Ruby that was opened 5 years ago. Only one glass poured and recorked. I opened it just before this program and it was still wonderful. I don't think ports normally last this long so I feel blessed. Now time to open an unopened bottle of Sandman that was purchased 3 years ago. Wonderful ports.

[@tojal]

This is a fantastic video! It's great to get a perspective on how things were 20 years ago and understanding that while some things changed, a lot has remained the same and It's a good thing :) Thank you for this!

[@Backwoodsandblades]

Bravo. I love and sell port, this is a well done video, thank you.

[@darsychane2588]

Thank you so much for these videos with Michael Fagan! Hope to see new videos about wine with him!

This is the best Port video I've seen. Thank you.

The bloke at the end perfectly sums it up. Nothing, and I mean nothing, can touch the flavor offered by Port wine.

[@Odood19]

Maybe Madeira can, but that is just Port with extra steps!

[@stephenryder1995]

Get two or three friends together - who you love. Share with them a bottle of fine, rare Vintage port (Like a Quinta Do Noval). Kill the bottle and mark the date, for you'll remember it all your life. You see - unlike any other wine - port has a mystical, emotional effect - not to be confused with inebriation, relaxation, digestion or slumber, although those thing might naturally occur. What you'll always remember is the bonhomie, cameraderie and bruderschaft resultant from that rare moment in time with help from that magical wine.

[@Подшиваловказачьегорода]

Мир твоему дому уважаемый! Очень интересное замечание! Никогда в жизни не пил портвейн! Но три недели назад прикупил пару бутылок! Жду холодную погоду! Обязательно познакомиться надо с этим напитком.

[@julieloveswine1676]

A point about Age Statement Tawnys 10, 20, 30, 40 - they are not a true average age of the wine inside. They are a blend of various aged wines deemed to taste like and have the characteristics of a 10 year old, or 20 year old for example.

[@chasleggett3099]

I would really like to help harvest/crush the grapes. What month do they do this?

[@FERNANDOAUGUSTO-fv1ck]

september , and there is packages with hotels in the region where you can do it

[@bonokomblue]

" is there anything you can do with the rest of the wine in that bottle?" - " yea some people put it on toast".

[@VincentSandfordofSEOsynovation]

You say brandy is added but do not mention the quality, brand or process of adding it. Surely the adding of brandty has a marked influence on the palate. Right or wrong?

[@Unparadoxability]

It isn't really brandy, it's called aguardiente but it's very dissimilar to drinkable brandies. As far as I am aware I think most producers of port produce their own aguardiente too.

[@musicbox2466]

Teodor Vikbladh I find it stupid they gave no info on that.

[@JYNapaValley]

It's more like... neutral grape spirit and it doesn't affect either the taste or smell. Most port houses get their grape spirit from Portugal and France.

Not really though... Port is easy because it's sweet. You may miss out on the complexity but you'd still drink it unlike say fino sherry.

[@KAriedoll]

I'm currently sipping on a glass of reserved port, and I'm not in favor of seeing feet, sweat and other bodily fluids mixed with my pre-wine juices. However, I do love port.

[@ldfgbnghcfhgvjbkhn]

They can't find any workers for the harvest because all portugese people interested in harvesting are in France at this time doing harvest there. As a result both the French and the Portugese grape harvesting traditions are lost now, thanks mainly to the EU.

[@nxxynx5039]

The EU loves killing culture and tradition so much so they've written it into their ideological teachings

[@squiremuldoon5462]

That is so dangerous the way they slice the bottle at the beginning, you're essentially drinking microscopic shards of glass.

that's so dangerous they are drinking wine, which might cause alcohol poisoning.

[@amoreazione3563]

@@michellem7290 your comment is full of ignorance. The Biritsh people didn't just "go to someone else's country" - they asked for a permission to start their commercial activities in Portugal and the Portuguese king gave it to them. They also paid expensive for that permission. And which resources are they "extracting"? we are talking about grapes that grow on vines! And the British merchants BOUGHT these goods, they certainly didn't confiscate or steal them with an army. And thanks to their commercial prowess, their businesses became successful which, in return, brought money and wealth to the region of Porto - it certainly contributed in providing poor peasants with a better income. It was and it still is a win-win situation for everyone, and the club meetings for Brits only are probably just a ritual, a simple tradition established over time. But here you are, ignorant social justice warrior, talking about colonialism and all of that nonsense. what a disgrace

[@hachidefibonacci3313]

do you think popi plantation farmers are guilty in the drugs war? are consumers guilty? or are the dealers guilty? im of the opinion that the dealer is not only the most guilty but actually soly responsible for the situation. connecting people. so under this premiss we quickly see that americans purchasing slaves were customers. black folk capturing themselfs were farmers. and the portuguese were the dealers. you can shout all u want about the treatment of slaves and keep quiet about black folk farming themselfs. but dont ever mention what the portuguese really are. cose then by how u affiliate with them it makes u one of them. if you visit you are infact supporting individuals who profited from being slave dealers. portugal didnt profit much from discovery. mostly it was slavery.
