Port Wine - avoid it if you don't have what it takes to fall in love The world is more divided in terms of preference for wine than ever before.  Some subscribe to the old saying "The first duty of wine is to be red...the second is to be a Burgundy" - Waugh.  Others lament "The only regret in life is that I did not drink more Champagne" - Keynes.   Many prefer new-world wines of the southern hemisphere. Then there are those who do whites only because reds are too dense for their palates.   Everyone has a good point.  But if you walk into a room full of wine connoisseurs, holding a decanter of Port wine, you'd be lucky to have a glass of it left for yourself.  Port is without question or fuss, a universal wine-lover's favorite. So what is Port wine?   Port was originally from Portugal in a city called Oporto. (Guess that quickly answers the question of why it is called Port, doesn't it?) Various good renditions of Port can now be found  ...
