I got it. "The answer is not unrelated to port", small P, so it's not Port wine but a port. So you bought yet another boat.

Is it a special corkscrew for a double magnum bottle?
Re: One quiz at a time
Ah, so you're saying there's something double or repeated about it?

No.
No, though I like the guess.
I can't explain the clue without telling you the answer.

No.
Summary of previous clues so far:
- What have I recently bought, that I don't really need? (that I don't really need)
- Don't forget the clue. Don't forget the clue.
- Let's see - when I remove a cork using this, I wouldn't be surprised to find it breaks up into eight pieces.
Additional new clue:
- Perhaps surprisingly, it's not from Norway.

Re: One quiz at a time
It's the slightly less brash version, if that helps. But still stunning.
It certainly could well be; not the usual name though.
It would be more likely to be an Arr-so, Arr-so, perhaps...
However, you're all getting very close...
