Recommended Port for christmas

[bashman]

I'm not a big drinker myself but I always get my dad a bottle of port at Christmas.
Can anyone recommend a nice Port to get in for Christmas Day for him. Budget around £35

Last year I got this one https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-10373.aspx

Thanks

Personlly I think you bought really well in that budget

I'd be more then happy if I gave someone that busget and receiving what you gave

While it won't burst the £35 limit, our favourite is Warre's Optima 10 tawny port, which should be readily available in the usual supermarket chains.
It's a 50cl bottle in a white box.
Serve chilled.

Otherwise just see what's available, for £35 there should be plenty of vintages available.

Warre's Optima 10 is a good shout.

If you can find a Smith Woodhouse Tawny 10, that's a cracking bottle and for about £22.

Aside from that, try your local wine merchants and ask for a colheita

I've gone for a bottle of Graham's Crusted Port 1998, not had it before but it gets decent reviews online and was on offer from £20 to £14.
