But Port is a British drink, now adopted by our former colony, both of whom were far from neutral (albeit that the Yanks were a bit late in joining the party).

You will have an opportunity to do so - Oscar has provided me with a bottle to share with the London team at some point in the not-too-distant future.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
