Poll: What is the age range of Participants here?

Post by Andy Velebil »

A thread on another forum got me thinking, what is the age range of participants here. I know some are sensitive about it, so I kept it in brackets of 10 years (except for the 18-30 years). Just thought it would be nice to know what the break-down of participants is. Thanks

Don't you think you might have expressed this in terms of "what vintage" are you from? :lol:

Well, the best Vintage close to my "range" is the 1970.
If this was the case, I would vote for 1970 Vintage Port Year.
(Unfortunately my birth year is Not a good vintage year at all :oops:)
...... :lol: just kidding :lol: ....

That term just sounds so, well...old :wink:

Mario,
Don't feel bad, I am in the same boat as you. The closest vintage to my year is 1970 also. Being born in 1973, I don't need to tell you what kinda year that was for port :cry:

Well, if your vintage year is horrible, you can always call yourself a "Fine 35-year Tawny"...

Jeez, I am a geezer at 49 and fortunately did not have to be alone in the oldest category. :cry:

I will admit that I thought the age range would be a bit more on the "older vintage" range. I have been quite suprised at the results.

I thank those that have already voted.

I hope more people that lurk will cast a vote Which can be done without anyone knowing you voted.

I'm a '77, my wife is a '80, my father is a '45 and my brother is a '70. Everything fits very well in my own world...! (Like Andy, I am very surprised to see how young people are on this forum, I feel sometimes so young at 29 passionate by Port...)

Vinatge 1960 here. It's a vintage year, but not a great one. Certainly it's better than 1960 Bordeaux!

Vintage 1946 here. I've never heard of any port from that year, but I finally got some 1946 Barbeito malvasia from Patrick Grubb. I enjoyed it to observe my birthday.

Perhaps we should run another poll with the question "How old do you feel?" - perhaps this would give some insight into the preservative or destructive qualities of our favourite drink :lol:
