Drinking port wine is a centuries-old tradition that is very popular today. Originally from the Douro River Valley in Portugal, port is a sweet dessert wine that is fortified with brandy during the fermentation process. Because of its distinct taste, the art of port drinking quickly spread to other countries and has continued to grow in popularity ever since. Learning how to drink port and the traditions that come with it may take you a little time, but once mastered, it may become one of your favorite hobbies. Some in Britain say that, when drinking port it should always be passed to the left at the table and the bottle should never touch the table. Others say this is nonsense. | Drinking port wine is a centuries-old tradition that is very popular today.
