For The Love Of Port

Thanks for the article Andy. Last week some friends and I had this discussion abourt wines and ports switching to the screw cap. Although we all feel a little disgusted by the issue, something about the "tradition" of the cork, we also know that it would preserve the wine and the percentag...

For jam, I have always used Parowax - it is sold in grocery stores in the USA -- it does the same thing as paraffin wax, you melt it down and then when it is cooled it becomes a milky color -- however, it is sold in a lot less than 10lb packages.

I too could only find the same information as Fred. So I am going to guess 1941 -- since that is the year that the regulation of the gaurantee went into effect.

Andy,
Thanks for the link to the great article. I must agree that the bottles with a screw on lid do remind me of the cheaper bottles of wine purchased during those poor college years!

I really like the Wood version of the Decanter. I have been looking at decanters and like the old look to this one. Thanks for your postings!

Okay guys, don't get to anxious -- as I said, I am new to Port and learning, so let me catch up a little. :) Plus, Andy, I can't drink like I did back in college -- something about getting a little older, or maybe it is the fact that I do drink more expensive stuff, so it has more of an effect on me...

As a new member to this forum, the organization you are talking about seems great. I am relatively new to Port and find that reading some of the back discussion threads have given me new insight and direction on Ports!

Thanks!
