+--- Thread: Storing Port after opening (/thread-19846.html)
- Sillygoose - 01-30-2000
What is the best way to store a bottle of port after opening?
How long should it last?
- Bucko - 01-30-2000
Tawny or Vintage?

Bucko, I did not think it made a difference.
Generally, port will not live long after the bottle has been open, unless you take some precautions, like a nitrogen blanket et al.
I do the same with port as I do with table wine; pour the unused into a smaller bottle, unless it is an old port.

You can store a Tawny for upwards of a month after opening, Vintage only about a week..... at least this is what I read. The stuff never lasts that long around my place.

Yeah, once a bottle of port gets opened around here there is no need to count days...

Bucko, I have read the same thing about the vintage verses the wood-aged tawnys. Tho my own experience is like yours and Foodies....who has it around that long! [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]
