Bordeaux: The 1945 wine vintage was, without doubt, the vintage of the century. No vintage in the post-war era enjoys the reputation that 1945 does. The celebration of the end of the war, combined with the fact that the weather was remarkable, produced one of the smallest, most concentrated crops of grapes ever seen. Many of the top wines are still not fully mature and will last for another 20-30 years.
 
Portugal: The 1945 port vintage was the first end-of-war vintage. It was a superb quality five-star vintage, although the quantity produced was small. 22 shippers declared the vintage, with Cockburn being the only major abstention. The ports are now very rare but are still drinking well today. A bottle of 1945 Port will make an exceptional presnt for an 80 year old wine gift Birthday or anniversary.
