Photo of the day: Port wine in Porto

photo: wikipedia

Port is fortified wine which means that during the fermentation process aguardente (pure wine alcohol) of 77% is added. That stops the fermentation process, makes the wine more sweet and results in a stronger wine (about 19-22%). Tasting Port wine while in Porto is a must and we don't plan to skip it :)

    Na-ah! :) Tasting Port is certainly a must in our itinerary.

    Hell, we're gonna empty the backpack and fill it with Port bottles :))

    I wrote that we DON'T plan to skip it.

    PS: Just one glass for you, it's pretty strong wine. I won't carry you on my back!

    So that means no glass for you?

    You're twice the size I am and I won't even drag you around. Don't say you have not be warned :)

    Anyway, one glass PER HOUR it's ok :P

    I'll probably just taste it. As you know wine isn't my favourite drink. Maybe Port can change my mind, but I doubt it.
