A Port Wine Primer

A Port Wine Primer

Last Modified March 17, 2017 By Staff Writer

There are many, many different bottles of port wine in your local liquor store or winery, but actually there are only two main types , wood aged and bottle aged. Wood aged are most of them, 98 percent. Bottle aged ports are the expensive, top of the line ports. Port wines are considered desert wines. Beware though, they are high in alcoholic content.

Key Takeaways:

  • Port vineyards are one of the oldest demarcated and regulated farming areas in the world, and with over 250 years of history, you’d expect the wines to be beguiling, and you’d be right.
  • The key to understanding port is to realize that there are really only two styles. That might shock anyone who has shopped for port in the wine aisle for more than three minutes and been bombarded by a seemingly endless display of port types, but it’s true.
  • Almost all port is bottled after it ages in wood casks, after which it’s filtered, bottled, and ready to drink right off the shelf.
