*(no affilitation, but I buy from them and they are a very reliable store)

**(Oh, and before anyone gets too excited about that Cockburn's No 3 White Port, it's a basic white Port that was last sold around the late 1950's. So I wouldn't hold out hope it's any good anymore, LOL)

What's the difference between crc (crowned capsule) and spc (slightly pushed cork)? I guess the real question is what exactly is a crowned capsule?

Some nice stuff on that list!

1948 Graham Vintage Port, 1 x 1.5L -- $2495 WS95 (crc)

Holly crap! I wish I had money to burn as that is expensive yet epic. I bet whomever drinks that is going to have one best port experiences ever. Not many vintages are better than '48 and a Graham magnum on top of that!

The 1920's vintages look reasonable.
