To drink port like wine?

[BrianMolkoismyPlacebo]

We usually drink wine and leave port for christmas only, but someone has bought us a bottle recently.
I'm currently on my 2nd glass of the evening. It goes down so well! How do people just sip it?!

Beware - you might regret it later (thinks back to uni days and the fact I can't stomach port at all now)

Oh no hells I've nearly finished my 2nd glass and have the bottle next to me! Think I should go to bed early!
Fwiw... I haven't been able to even smell peach schnapps since I was 15!!

Oh I love port!!

It's the only good thing about Xmas

Yes lpvely it is the best thing about xmas. Unfortunately mil has ruined this treat for us by buying it for us everytime she sees us every couple of months.

I have to be really careful when I open a bottle of port as it goes down so easy and suddenly I find most of the bottle is gone!

YABU if you're not having it alongside a cheeseboard.

Cheers

I love port at Christmas but I prefer it added to a glass with ice & a bottle of WKD blue,I believe it's called a "cheeky vimto"
Not something to drink when you've work the following day!

I drank almost a full bottle once and felt like I was constantly being kicked in the head the next day. I've been put off it for life.

Used to like it, now find it too sweet (whiskey is fine though).

With smelly cheese - my favourite

But it's a fine line between just enough and I'm never drinking again

Very jealous indeed

cliff I have the cheeseboard... also courtesy of mil!

watcher I completely forgot about them! Might have to save the bottle and buy a wkd tomorrow!

I did this. Once. Had the worst hangover of my entire life, and that's saying something. Never again.

Right, I'm stopping at 2 glasses!

I'm looking at my glass of Pinot wishing it were port.

Can you even buy WKDs now?!

Port is just a kind of wine ..... that's what I tell myself as it slips down ... never had a port hangover that would put me off it OTOH I haven't been able to stomach whisky since an incident when I was 20. I'm now in my 60's

I'm looking at my mug of tea wishing it was Pinot

You can get WKD in my local Happy Shopper robber

2 for £5 in tesco at the moment apparently

I think I'll be adding a few extras to my shopping list this week thanks to this thread Brian

I know have a headache... might be pshycological because of this thread.

*now! Now!!... Fucking port

My boyfriend does this occasionally. He likes it warmed in the microwave to "release the flavours".

He is good for fuck all the next day.

DP got shitfaced on port 25 odd years ago. I drove him home and got pulled for a knackered tail light. DP's breath hit the law as soon as I wound down the window - needless to say I was soon blowing on the breathalyser whilst DP bumbled around in the boot (like a badly co-ordinated puppy) trying to fix the bloody light . . . . Happy Memories . . apart from the fact he hasn't touched it since
