Port in a Coffee Mug
Hey, they’re New Yorkers…whatever works.

Re: Port in a Coffee Mug
I have drunk Port from tumbler glasses and coffee cups---not ideal but as long as I can swirl and bring out the nose, it's fine in a pinch.
Any Port in a storm!

Interesting that it's imported from England, not Portugal.

Re: Port in a Coffee Mug
I don’t see a Selo on the bottle. Perhaps exported from PT in bulk and bottled there, then shipped over?Moses Botbol wrote:Interesting that it's imported from England, not Portugal.

Re: Port in a Coffee Mug
I've wandered around cruise ships drinking Tawny Port out of an opaque coffee mug. You're not supposed to drink your own alcohol outside of your room, but no one suspects a cup of coffee no matter the time of day.

Re: Port in a Coffee Mug
On a ship they generally don't care. Everyone has a drink, so walking around with your port in a wine glass is normal. I do all the time when we cruise and I take my own wine/port along. I've even had a bottle in hand many times walking to/from lunch/dinner. Unless you take it to a restaurant on the ship, they have no idea if you bought it on board or not.

Perhaps the UK importer forwarded into and UK sounds better than saying imported from PT??

Re: Port in a Coffee Mug
Don’t forget it was only Vintage Port which had to be bottled in Portugal before being exported.
Other types of Port could be bottled outside Portugal until the 1990s - I have 1993 in mind, but that’s just my memory talking.

Re: Port in a Coffee Mug
I don't remember the dates exactly either, I used to, now I'm getting old ahah. But I think Portugal joining EU in 1986 played a role in that, as DOC in European Union is pretty serious. There was one exception, Newman Port that could be bottled in Newfoundland until early 2000.
