Or just upload to a hosting site like Imgur or some other one (and then post the link).

Assuming you're posting from your phone, when you're in the message where you want to post the picture, click the attachments tab below the box where you are typing. The click the "Add files" button.

Tap the "Photo Library" option and select the photo you want to post. Then BEFORE YOU CLICK ADD hit "OPTIONS" in the bottom left-hand corner. Choose either medium or small (and make sure the size is less than 500KB). Then click "DONE", then "ADD", then make sure the cursor is in the right place in the text box where you want the picture to go and then tap "Place inline".

That should add your picture - you can edit your post above to put the picture in if you want to practice!

To find these instructions next time you need them, just use the site search function (top right) and look for #postapicture or even #pictures or #photo

Or you can do what Glenn or Miguel have suggested. That would work too.

Now you have to think which thread to use when you post your photographs of the next time you fill a new half bottle! No-one has yet posted instructions on how to do that…

Hi All,

I hate to mention Christmas, but for those interested, Vintage Wine & Port have just released the 2024 Quevedo Advent calendars, including the refill pack for those who have previously purchased one of the Prestige calendars:
The prestige calendars and refill pack contain some typically-Quevedo experimental Ports, including single varietal colheita, single vineyard colheita, a colheita made from an ex-LBV Port and a garrafeira.

Enjoy!
Ben

Seen in a Spanish supermarket, Almerka, in Tineo (I’m on the Camino Primitivo). I’ve never seen this before.

Good luck with the Camino. That’s a lot of walking.

Did you buy one so you can tell us whether it’s worth €11?

:shock:

Wow! That's an amazing price for a double magnum. That's probably what a magnum would cost over here!

They now appear to be £220. Obviously, dynamic pricing in play…!

You have to follow the link from their email, if you go on the site you won't be able to find the same deal.

Ah, funnily enough, I noticed the other day that they appear to have stopped sending me their weekly updates.
