For The Love Of Port

There are many, the most obvious being, "Any Port in a storm" although in that case, it is likely with a small "p".

Can you think of any that have been used throughout history, from famour or obscure authors?

Claret for boys, Port for men, whisky for heroes.

I have some, but as they occurred during evaluation sessions with copious amounts of fine purple liquid they are not fit for public posting

"A Port's first duty is to be red," by Ernest Cockburn? I guess those who prefer tawny Port would not like this quote.

O plump head waiter at The Cock, to which I most resort. How goes the time?
'Tis five o'clock' - Go fetch a pint of port.

Tennyson

If you couldn't make a good Vintage Port in 1994 (or 2011), you should sell shoes.
