'Vintage Character'?
I wasn't aware that this was still a permissible category...

Re: 'Vintage Character'?
It isn't, but this looks like a mis-naming by Sainsbury's on their website. The picture of the label and the "Statutory description" say "Finest Reserve".djewesbury wrote:I wasn't aware that this was still a permissible category...

Re: 'Vintage Character'?
According to the latest (2013) edition of Port and the Douro, this phrase has been replaced by "'reserve' (reserva in Portuguese)".
"Under the terms of the 2002 legislation, the words Finest, Especial or Special may be used with either ruby or reserve. The expression 'Special Reserve', so long associated with Cockburn, may now be used by anyone although 'Cockburn's Special Reserve' remains a trademark."
