For The Love Of Port

What would you estimate the percentage of all wine that you consume: is Port? Madeira? Douro DOC?

Guessing here....

Port: 10%
Madeira: 2%
Douro DOC: 5%

Guessing here as well:
Port - 25%, probably closer to 50% in the last six months
Madeira - 1%, maybe more with the FTLOP gala, but I've only ever bought a couple of bottles
Douro DOC - 5%, maybe a little more as we drink a bit of vinho verde in the warmer months

Hahaha...

Port: 99.9%
Madeira: 0.1%
Wine: 0%

I don't drink wine (or beer), and I'm not fond of Madeira. I've only ever opened one bottle of Madeira myself, and it's still sitting on my wine fridge partially consumed because I never finished it. Hey, at least it's not being damaged by time, right?

A more interesting question for me is the ratio between Tawny and Ruby. Left to my own devices, I would probably drink twice as much Tawny as Ruby. But with all the tastings, etc, it's probably much closer to 50-50 and might even be tipped toward the Ruby side of things.

My stats would be very similar to those posted by Glenn, but I don't spend as much time as he does drinking Madeira :devil:

Seriously, my habits seem to have changed completely in the past 12 months. I probably used to drink 75% dry red and 25% port but it is now almost exclusively port. I do also drink beer, but purely for medicinal reasons so it doesn't count.

Since 1 January 2008:

Port: 17%
Madeira: 21%
Douro DOC: 0%

For comparison:

German reisling: 61%

Port * 85%
Madeira * 4%
DOC * 10%

Port 15% Madeira 5% Duoro 0.5%

Port 85% Maderia 0.0% Douro DOC 5%

I'd say around 35% Douro DOC, 20% Bordeaux, 30% Burg, 10% Port
5%: Rioja, Madeira, Barolos, Loire wines, Champagne

WOW! - and you told me you drink 150 bottles of port per year

Did you see those numbers in the other thread? Those weren't all of Canada, they were just Luc & Frederick!

Well yeah not all from my cellar of course :) But still I do 1-3 tasting per week minimum plus my daily dose, that makes an average tasting of products of at least 20-30 per week :)
