The table of names is starting to gather ISWN-P #s.
A very frightening list of wine producers in Portugal, and their ISWN-P numbers (International Standard Wine Number - Producer). The table of names is starting to gather ISWN-Ps.
Why, for example, are there both Borges and Borges & Irmao?

Portvin by Henrik Oldenburg on on Amazon.com and Amazon.
Portvin by Henrik Oldenburg on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. Much cheaper in the UK.
Amazon also has a link to www.PortesAnciennes.com! (Which isn’t as good as you’re probably hoping.)

Re: Sources of Berrys’ Own Selection ports
On that bulletin board a follow-up question has been asked. Are Berrys' Selections a relabelling of the original blender's wine, or are they -- in some way -- different wines?

Re: “But that is a different Quinta do Silval†?
If we ignore the Q d Silval and Q d Marco anomolies for one moment, I think the three principal VPs produced by Noval today need to appear together in the list with the following display names in this order: Quinta do Noval Quinta do Noval Nacional Noval Silval This would require the sort names to ...

Quinta do Silval has (I believe) no association with Noval and is principally a Hotel. As far as I know they have never made a vintage port. I seem to recall they make some table wines.. ..but I'm not sure? Tom It does have a past with Noval, as they are next to each other. IIRC, Noval now owns som...
