Graham's 20cc port bottles

Post by Jasper A. »

They are coming.
I think a good thing to make them for the more expensive port. Makes them more in reach for the "normal public"
Saw them at Prowein in Germany.

Do you think they will be used for vintage port as well? It looks very interesting.

That is a nice restaurant/hotel size to have handy, especially with screwcap. Hopefully they're not marked up too badly by volume like some smaller bottles.

I have been sent "samples for review" by the Symington's in this size bottle, with similar Graham's labels.

They are not made for vintage port. And i don't think the will do that either.

That was one of the reasons they were made.

I've had "samples" from them in this size as well. Are they actually going to sell them or were they just for the tasting you were at?

Cool integration of the Selo into the bottom part of the screw cap.

Very cool. A great way to allow people to try things without having to spend all the money on a full size bottle. And great for industry as well as it won't sit on the shelf as long and go bad.

This is nothing new - I have some 20cL Taylor's 2003 LBV that was originally bottled for use on UK railways (I believe)

The bottle size I'd quite like to see is 10cL - small enough to get past the fluid restrictions for aircraft cabin baggage - one might even market it as Air-Port.. :D

Edit: I am assuming the thread title should read cL and not cc - 20cc is 2cL - barely a sip..

My fault, it should be 20 CL.
I heard yesterday they are coming in May

I was thinking a story about bringing a .67 ounce bottle of Port to market was some kind of cruel April Fools joke. Now I'm thinking perhaps there's a chance they will make some airlines roster of choices.

We might need a new thread for potentially terrible marketing slogans ;) I'll add "New 20cl bottles, beautifully proPORTioned"
