Henry’s Christmas Port Masterclass

Fair enough, we’re biased, but in our minds every time of year is a Port time of year.

When it comes to Christmas though, there’s no question about it: Port reigns supreme.

That feeling of easing back into a favourite chair, glass in hand, the feast over, but perhaps a spare mince pie or bit of stilton standing by – it’s one of winter’s greatest pleasures.

But there’s so much more to Port than just the after-dinner luxury.

From refreshing cocktails lighter on alcohol to gorgeously-fruited Ruby Ports, complex, nutty Tawnies and glorious, best-friends-only Vintage Ports aged for decades, there’s a Port for everyone – and for every stage of your festive celebrations.

Pour yourself a glass – it’s December now, you’re allowed – and enjoy the watch.
