"In many wine regions of the world the best type of wine is made every year. This is not true of Vintage Port. The Port producers do not 'declare' a Vintage Port in every year, only in some, when they believe the wine will have enough power and durability and excellence. For most Port brands, this happens about three times in a decade. There is an obvious question: which years did which producers declare?"

Reviews
‘The first edition was a tour de force from someone who has deeply researched all Vintage Ports ever made. The updated and extended second edition is a must-have for anyone who enjoys drinking, collecting or just studying the fascinating subject of Vintage Port’
Adrian Bridge
‘Port Vintages is Wisden’s for drinkers of Vintage Ports. It will be my go-to historical reference book for my family’s brands, each with their own chapter: Cockburn, Dow, Gould Campbell, Graham, Martinez, Quarles Harris, Smith Woodhouse, and Warre. The research and accuracy in defining and recording all historical Vintages is second to none. There is no more complete record’
Dominic Symington
‘This is an essential work for anyone interested in Vintage Port and an absolute must for any serious collector’
