Hiya Noggin, sorry can't answer your query i'm afraid, I can't say that I have ever seen it over here but do understand your wifes predicament!

As promised I have a couple of packets of your gravy mix but sadly have had a few things on my mind since returning to the UK, I will get it in the post to you as soon as I can. Sorry for the delay. Hope you are keeping okay.

Many thanks fizzy

can I just ask , what is port wine??

I usually get a complimentary bottle from the hotel. It reminds me of a light tasting cream sherry. Actually, if mixed with lemonade and ice, it does make a refreshing long drink! Makes a change from Bacardi and Coke!!

can I just ask , what is port wine???

How what we now know as 'Port' actually came to be is still a mystery :
- the wine shippers in Portugal originally added a couple of buckets of Brandy to the wine in order to stabilise it during the long sea journey back to England. And it is suggested that in order to speed up the shipping process the shippers started adding the Brandy earlier and earlier in the process until they started adding it during the fermentation.
- or, a story is told of a Liverpool merchant who sent his sons to Portugal in the 1670's to find a source of wine. In the Duoro valley they came across an abbot in a monastery in Lamego who was adding the Brandy during the fermentation process to increase the alcholic content.

Either way someone invented the great idea of adding Brandy during the fermentation process, which stops the development of the wine whilst it is still sweet and fruity, (and naturally strong due to the extra added Brandy).

My sister swears by the Port wine sold in Morrisons.

Myself I like the real stuff which we buy in Portugal - a few miles from where we live.

sounds lovely, something else for me to try out on my next visit

Hi Noggin,if you pm me your address i have 2 bottles you can have(i,m not that keen)it,s just sitting in the cupboard.Manxcat

hi
if you cant get in the uk. then try aussie white with ice close as i to thought it was superb to

hi all
for those of you that dont know the goan port wine is nothing like uk port wine it is much lighter ,so much so you can treat it as wine and have it with a meal i love it

Goan Port Wine OMG its awful stuff think it sells for around 40 rps a bottle, nothing like genuine portuguese port wine, mind you thinking back it was ok with a good tot of honeybee

Honeybee brandy with port wine is also a good remedy for an upset tummy. I tried it and it worked for me

If I drank a mixture of honeybee and port wine I don't think I would be aware I had an upset stomach!!!!!
