I know I can answer this question with a $5 investment but thought it
would be more fun to ask some experts. In a nutshell; I have always disliked alcohol, including wines. I basically just get tired and a headache if I drink wine. I recently had a nice experience, however, drinking a Port wine that was bought for about $15 at Sam's Club and I have purchased a few bottles since then. It was a rich, fruity wine and a small glass tends to calm my nerves in the evening. Here's the question. I went to Safeway today to look at Port wines. They had the same brand (Fortego or something like that, can't remember) and some other brands. Some were Porto (Europe, Portugal), some were Port (California). I presume that both Porto and Port are "Port" wines. The European brands were $28 to $35 and the California brands actually went as low as $4-5 dollars. Will I like the $5 bottle of Port as much as I like the $15 bottle? Is a Port a Port? Or are there real differences? Thanks ... Dan in Chandler, Arizona |
