I thought exactly that when I read Tom's post. Perhaps he has had too much rice wine today :lol:

Either that, or the combo of Port & sex was just too much for him, this close to New Years Eve. :wink:

Sorry if my sober and clinical analysis of the drinks advertising methodology caused some amusement, but I don't think it's me that's on the sherbet..

And Derek, I shall try to source some genuine Chinese rice wine for you, so you can experiance first hand what an utterly repugnant (to western palates) this alcohol is..

..down a shot glass in one, and I guarantee you will regret it for the rest of the night (unless your grandad was born in Shanghai..)

I urge everyone who participates on FTLOP, whether an active poster or just a lurker, to PLEASE read the #PortDay piece in the newsletter which will be in your hands by Wed. if not sooner (depending on your time zone).

There is a challenge and contest with prizes offered for all Port ambassadors here. I hope you will all participate. This is OUR WAY to help the Port trade and YOUR effort will make a difference! :clap: :clap: :clap:
