Has vintage port been released in different alphabets like Hebrew, Chinese, Arabic, Greek, etc?
Any pictures?

Re: Port Labels in Different Alphabets?
I've never seen Port labeled in another language, except for that which they speak in the UK.
Although bottlings which were done in Paris, I've seen some of the words written in French. Sorry I can't be more help.

I have seen Port labels in different European languages but never one in a different alphabet.

Re: Port Labels in Different Alphabets?
In the two years that I've been in the middle east I've never seen a bottle of wine or port with a label in Arabic script. Not even in Lebanon or Syria, where they produce wine and where it would seem logic to do so. Here in the gulf states it certainly won't happen. Wine is a tolerated product, that can be sold (under strict conditions) to non-muslims, but promotion of any sort is forbidden. So all wine, beer, spirits etc are imported, and it is more common to see a US or UK label on a French wine or Port than it is to see any mention of the middle east.
