Exhaustive list of fortified wine?

Anything but Port, this includes all wines other than fortified wines (which have their own section) even if they call themselves Port. There is a search facility for this part of the forum.

Exhaustive list of fortified wine?

Post by JB vintage »

I'm sure we cannot make an exhaustive list of all fortified wine but perhaps we could do our best to make such a list?

I would be very interested in getting your help to make an extensive list. I'll start with a few:

1) Port, Portugal
2) Madeira, Portugal
3) Moscatel de Setúbal, Portugal
4) Sherry, Spain
5) Vin doux naturel/VDN, France
6) Marsala, Italy (some non fortified Marsala exists)
7) Commandaria, Cyprus (some non fortified Commandaria exists)
8) Samos, Greece
9) Mavrodaphne, Greece
10) Carcavelos, Portugal
11) Liqueur muscat, Australia
12) Liqueur tokay, Australia,
13) Massandra, Krim making their own kind of Port/Sherry/Madeira/Muscat
14) Vin Santo Liquoroso, Italy (there are also non fortified Vin Santo)

Basically any place in the US that has a winery has someone making a fortified wine.

Maury from the south of France.

Is Vin Jaune fortified?

South Africa produces fortified wines which used to be called port, but are now called Cape Vintage / Cape Late Bottled Vintage / Cape Tawny made in exactly the same way as in the Douro (often by the same winemakers) and from the same grape varieties.

Buckie, produced by monks in Devon and a great favourite of the under-aged, under-privileged and anti-social youths of Glasgow and Lanarkshire.

Vermouth. Does anyone drink Vermouth neat?

If Buckie counts do QC British wine, Thunderbird, or Scotsmac also count. Perhaps not - too far off the spirit of the thread?

I had a neat Vermouth the other day - a white wine (actually Sherry) base with lots of orange and rosemary, poured over ice and served with a twist of orange peel. Very refreshing and delicious.
