Once a year port drinker here. (Christmas is coming)

Have drunk some right rubbish marketed as special 10 year aged or somesuch in past years - Taylors I think.

Please tell me a decent port.

Aldi have a pack which contains 20cl. bottles of 10, 20, 30, and 40 yr old. It's priced at £29.99.

Interesting, cooperman.

But I just wonder if stuff marketed like that isn't going to be as good as stuff that is sold on reputation.....

Thanks, Lady V might pop into Waitrose.

Aldi have won some pretty impressive medals for some of their products.

Agree with Her Ladyship. Berry Bros. Port is a different class and very reasonably priced. I first enjoyed this Port at a City of London function honouring The Worshipful Company of Successful Gamblers.

gives me gout which is a crying shame
Report Jack Hacksaw • November 22, 2017 12:31 PM GMT
I might try some of that Berry's stuff.

If it is good enough for the nobility and Slicer, its good enough for me.

I will be passing CostCutters on my way home.

How kind Mr Hacksaw. I don't think you will be disappointed.
Report Slicer • November 22, 2017 12:37 PM GMT
I think it's highly unlikely to be available in CostCutters. However you might find an alternative in the Poundshop. There is a litre of subtly flavoured blue Port available for a pound. It has a designer label and is called Windshield Washer. Not to be recommended.

If you can remember what it was like then clearly you didn't have enough.
