For The Love Of Port

The largest wooden Port cask is the massive one at Warre's which is enormous.

But (besides 2007 Harvest Tour participants ... that means YOU Andy :devil: ) ... what is the largest Stainless Steel Port holding tank? Is it in Gaia or the Douro? Last but not least, how much does it hold?

My lips are sealed

It is your typing fingers that I was actually concerned about.

I think it is at Real Companhia Velha in Gaia. Regarding the capacity, no idea.. but it's a lot

Mr. Aho must have read his FTLOP newsletter today.

Hopefully, he'll come back to share his Port wisdom with us in other threads too. Thanks for contributing and yes, you are correct. It is enormous but the wooden one at Warre is even more impressive to look at.

Thanks you Mr. Hersh!!! You don't find all the answers in the books, so you have to read the FTLOP...
To be hinest I haven't read the FTLOP... I visited Real Companhia Velha in March and that why I know. May I ask you what is the capacity?
Continue the good work.

Please call me Roy. What can we call you?

Glad to hear you have been to Gaia and Oporto. Did you visit VinoLogia while there?

Also, welcome to FOR THE LOVE OF PORT and we hope you will enjoy your time here and learn and share along with us!

Send me an email: Portolover@aol.com and I'll send you a copy of the May newsletter to have a look at.

Last but not last, the answer to your question ...

1,059,000 liters
1,440,000 bottles

Roy, you can call me David.
I didn't have time to visit VinoLogia and when I pass by it was closed.
Have you seen the barril that RCV dedicated to the Swedish King? It says VINTAGE 1986 but know is a colheita :)
1 million liter... here we go. Actually that number come to my mind but I didn't want to take a chance... it's a lot of port!!! With that amount we could say that we have port until the rest of our lifes!!!
I have already download the FTLOP newsletter... but thanks anyway.

Hi David,

Nice to know your name. If you get back to Porto you really need to check out VinoLogia. Lots of fun there!

Good to see you are going to be able to read the newsletter. Let me know what you think and if you see anything to improve it.

Roy
