Most port producers claim 20% ABV on their vintage port labels. Some 19.5% and some 20.5%.
I have only noticed 21% ever claimed by two producers on their vintage port - what shippers and vintages?

Re: One quiz at a time
One I hadn't spotted, but you are correct - so that makes four that I know of (two from the same producer). There could well be more, of course; I'd be interested to know also what the regulations say/require (if anything), and if any VP has ever been >21%.Old Bridge wrote: ↑20:32 Sat 11 Feb 2017 1977 FONSECA'S VINTAGE PORT

Hmm. Make that five; on checking other F77 labels, I also found one F80 label with 21% as well (neither of my original producers was Fonseca). Noting that 21% could have been 20.5% rounded up, I only know of one VP which was definitely >20.5% ...

Re: One quiz at a time
Hint: Without the first link there would be no port fora.
The second link is political.(and much,much more resent)

Re: One quiz at a time
This seems to be difficult?
Hint: The first link is VERY old. It is natural and has 5 relatively new structures.
The second link is there only since 1989
