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.

There was a full page obituary to Serge in The Times earlier this week. He seems to have been a bit of a modern day hero in the way he managed to keep the vineyards and the wine trade alive during the various wars in the region. It would be sad if the production died with him so I hope it has been left in equally brave hands.

Well said. Will take a look at the obit when I'm in the library tomorrow.
