No chance. None at all i can find. Not even anything worth buying.
Although there is a Cockburn Special Reserve. Something i aspire to for 1st anniversary virtual tasting!
Still hopeful i will be enjoying something nicer though!

I know that situation!
It feels like being stuck on the middle of the ocean with a good thirst for water.

Short Journey Port Travel Bag - all contents fit within a single resealable clear plastic bag.
2 50cl bottles of the most recently opened bottle of port.
1 small, robust glass.
All fit into hand luggage and will be accepted by the security check team.

This website has given me a good old chuckle this morning. A laugh out loud one at that.
A combination of Alex with his port travel bag (I need to create one!) and Julian and his design for the perfect decanter.
It may all be "Meaningless Drivel" but it makes me laugh.

You also need the jdaw travel decanting kit, comprised of a collapsible funnel and some unbleached coffee filters. Others have the jdaw TDK and can speak of its merits.

Ben,
You also need a
badge, which you will be given the first time you attend an Off-line with KillerB. You must then wear it every time you drink port in a public place. AHB's PTB has a place to keep your Badge along with your Jdaw TDK.

I needed this on Thursday - had to lug my metal funnel & filter with me. I will add it to my next Amazon order!
