I had done some sums, not bought any from portugalvineyards as yet as I found it easier to make use of Sainsbury's and Tesco's 25% off for 6 bottles since they sent me vouchers off like Tesco sent me £8 for £40 spend and Sainsburys £2 for £20 spend.

Many thanks, had a quick look. Really impressed with the selection they have. Definitely going to order some, would be nice if they get here before Christmas. What are the delivery times like from your experience with ordering?

so does this mean you will lend him your timemachine? :wink:

It's like anything taste is subjective. Personally I've had 3-4 Euro bottles in Portugal that tasted nicer than most of the stuff we buy here and the M&S one but that's my palate yours and everyone's else off course will be different.

Never mind the "vintage" name, port of this price range is either ruby or LBV or a better ruby. This M&S one is a better ruby (ball park about same price is a LBV). So see my note above and you can get a better deal than this.

I am a casual drinker, there are these categories, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_wine I think this M&S one is similar to LBV in character and taste (more importantly pricing) though I have never tried it as there are so many better deals in LBVs and premium ruby (which this Special Reserve M&S is) in the supermarkets now. This M&S one is unique in the sense that it is 50 cl (rather than 75cl) at £6 a bottle for 12 bottles (equivalent to £9 for 75cl) , and has a decanter looking bottle, means you are better off £/L drinking the others on promotion now,see my post #8.
