That is extremely naughty on two counts. How does one go about making a complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority?
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

No need for that. It looks like a case of mild ignorance than deliberately misleading. I have e-mailed the company and they have replied with thanks and it is being progressed. I would expect them to update this, plus the other two bottles wrongly described as 'Vintage Port'.

If they did not change then it would be a matter for reporting.
Port is basically a red drink

I have had a reply saying that it would go to their IT dept on Friday. Knowing IT departments it could take a week. If it's not done by the end of the week I will send a reminder.
