Where to buy Port in Cornwall

Wadebridge Wines used to be my go to shop when in Cornwall to buy Port to drink while on holiday. Sadly, with the change in ownership a few years ago, the shop no longer offers the same impressive choice or range.
Does anyone have any suggestions where else I should try when in Cornwall for my Port fix?

I find
this shop to be reliable and accessible from almost anywhere in the UK in the event of the type of emergency you describe.

But that hardly helps the local economy!

It helps the people who work in the local distribution centre and the driver of the delivery van

But I like being able to pick up the bottles and talk to the people who are selling them to me.

You can't pick up the bottles, but you can speak to the sales assistant, Alexa.
