Port wine typically known at Port or Porto is a Portuguese fortified wine produced exclusively in the Douro Valley in northern Portugal. It is typically a sweet, red wine, often served after meals as a dessert wine to accompany cheese, nuts or chocolate. Port has long been a popular tipple of choice in the UK, with its popularity dating back to as early as the 1700’s. Many traditions have formed around port, such as ‘Passing the decanter’ which involves passing the port to the left travelling around the table from guest to guest in a clockwise direction. It is often thought this originated from the Royal Navy, where the rule was ‘Port to Port’ meaning that the decanter (most likely a ship’s decanter) should be passed to the left. The custom is followed today to quite simply keep the decanter moving in the same direction, meaning every guest can enjoy the wine and no-one is left out!

There are many occasions for which port makes such a fantastic gift – so if you’re looking for wine gifts that screams ‘special occasion in a bottle’ then Port Gifts is a great place to start. Keep reading for the 3 Best Occasions for giving port!

For the Christening/Baptism 

Although a controversial gifting option for the arrival of new babies, christenings and baptisms, this is a long-standing tradition that some like to carry on throughout the generations. Popularly given by godparents and grandparents, it is an unusual keepsake gift idea that holds a lot of meaning and purpose.

The beauty of Port is that it ages and can be kept for a long period of time, even if the storage conditions are not ideal, hence the name ‘fortified wine’ until the child comes of drinking age and way beyond. The best variety to use on this occasion would be a quality vintage port that you know will mature well over time and will be perfect by the time the recipient comes of drinking age.  

Want to make that personalised port a gift to remember? Choose a Personalised Wine Box with space to include your special message to the recipient! That way your special port can be stored away for many years to come without losing its special touch and as a reminder of that special day and who gifted it to them!

For Christmas 

Christmas has got to be the most obvious of all occasions to give port, because nothing quite tops off a good meal (especially Christmas dinner) – better than a warming glass of port!
