All of my books concerning port wine are old and mostly out of print. If
someone else does not respond soon, you might go to www.amazon.com .
Click on the books tab. Then search on "port wine" . You will find
several books and some discussion concerning them. They have a few out
of print as well as new books. If you are not in the US, then at least
you can get some titles and authors to take to a good book store that
will special order books for you.

Porto is a city in Portugal, it is in a wine growing region (very
good, very popular), and yes it is where Port comes from. My cousin and
her fiance stopped there on their tour of Europe and visited all of the
Port producers they could find (which is the only reason I know about
Porto at all).

Isn't "porto" a designation of true port coming from Portugal?
I'm not sure now, but I thought I read on one of my references
that if "porto" is actually on the bottle it's referring to port wine
from Oporto, Portugal.

Boy do I feel silly, as Clint posted the cities name should be Oporto.

Just as a clarification, Port/Porto refers to fortified wine from the Douro
region.Oporto is the main port at the end of the Douro River, and the English
started calling the wine simply "Port". Port and Porto are generally used
interchangably, though use of the term Porto clarifies that you mean the real
thing (as opposed to "ports" from elsewhere).

You might look for the book, "Vintage Port" by James Suckling. It has
a lot of good info.

I envy your trip, Mario. I would love to visit Portugal sometime.
