That's a good read, Andy. Thank you for finding it and sharing it.

Best "state of port" article I've read in a long time. Really spot on.

Port wine industry needs to promote itself in F1. Perfect avenue to promote port wine considering its association with the UK and the emerging markets noted in the article.

Sandeman was involved in sports car racing at one point.
