I suspect that I'm giving weight to multiple things. Is it a real Port brand? Likelihood different wine to supplierʼs blend? How often seen — reluctant to waste combinations on a once-off?
I looked at my list of BOBs, and have to admit that I don't know how many may/not be the same or different to suppliers' blends. I suspect they are the same in many cases, but cannot be sure. Also there are several for which I know of only one vintage sold under their own name (which doesn't mean there are not others, just that I'm not aware of them) such as Hedges and Butler - well known bottler for many producers, but I'm only aware of their own brand in '35 (which was Taylor).
Perhaps ad-hoc abbreviation is sufficient for them; Use Tp and M&S on the placemats for now, but don't add them to the canonical list?
Also, perhaps this should be stickied and/or moved to the reference section for easier, er, reference (and move list to first post in thread?).
