BBR have published a copy of their 1909 Price List. This is an interesting little publication which gives a good insight into what port lovers were buying 100 years ago. However, the final page of the book contains a statement that got me thinking we should have a new addition to the TPF team equipment:

In May 1909, Berry Bros. & Co. wrote:For use on board their Yachts, or for Shipment abroad, Customers can save the duty on many of these Wines and Spirits by having then supplied direct from our Bonded Stock.

Do we need one?

Good point. Perhaps we should only use it for mature wines for current drinking?

I’m lightly averse to heavy drinking at sea. The movement worries me.

Good point. Perhaps we could park the yacht in a small harbour on Jersey?

Perhaps we could use a yacht to take delivery of duty free port, sail it out of European Waters and then return straight back home with our duty free purchases.

But then we would be limited to 2 bottles each
