Title: Port
Post by: Nick on December 16, 2019, 11:40:02 AM
What is the best thing to do with an unexpected bottle of expensive port?

Love the stuff but jeez does it give hangovers.  Apparently you're supposed to drink it within days of opening, I used to do a bottle in an evening and regret it.  Save it to Christmas and share it.

Been married about a year and we agreed a rule:  I'm not allowed to drink Port unless a visitor is also drinking it.  Cut down on my hangovers but now we have a Port lake.  I guess most of it undrinkable as it got opened

Send it to Apey, as far as he is concerned if it is free there is no such thing as undrinkable...  whistle:
