Re: Port Vintages, Second Edition
My pre-order went in at 11:18 this morning. I've been looking for the postman ever since but he hasn't arrived yet!
Good luck with the new edition, Julian. I am sure it will be fabulous.

I have only been to Lisbon for one afternoon but can highly recommend a trip to Pasteis de Belém for the best custard tart experience on the planet

Re: Old Price Lists
Victoria Wine Company, Summer 1961.
This price list includes Port-style ("Rich") wines from South Africa, Cyprus and "British", whatever than means.

Re: Old Price Lists
W & A Gilbey, circa 1900. Although undated, the youngest wine listed is an Invalid Champagne from the 1898 vintage. Very kindly, the merchant confirms that the bottles are included in the price of the wines.

Re: Old Price Lists
Fergusons Limited, July 1922, with a branch very close to where one of our founding members lives today.
A pipe or two of Cockburn 1908 at 12/6 per dozen would be very welcome

Re: Old Price Lists
J. C. Childs & Co. of 346 Eighth Avenue, New York. Undated but with a very amusing description of the formats they supplied.
Perhaps JDAW should approach the IVDP to see whether or not this could become the norm?

Old Price Lists
I think these sorts of things are really interesting. Especially for the non-vintage wines since I think we have much less of an understanding about what non-vintage Port used to be available before the modern categories came in. I have lots of these old price lists which were accumulated as part o...

Re: One quiz at a time
The KR1888 is the only one I have had that was 30% opaque, the others being 25-28%.
Is it Cruz 1988?

Re: Port Vintages, Second Edition
I think these charts only tell us what we already know - old Port costs more than young Port. Something that might be more interesting in chart format would be the progression of release prices across a number of decades for a selection of producers for which sufficient data exists. I recall there b...
