It is often stated that the Americans buy more vintage port than the British - but it appears that this is not the case..

A very interesting table. It seems that 40% of the LBV and Reserve ports produced are sold in the UK. Those almost constant 50% Off deals at UK supermarkets must be responsible for that phenomenon.

Another interesting fact is that the USA is the biggest consumer of Colheita and aged tawny. I always thought that these were mostly the realm of the Portuguese port drinker.

I am extremely surprised at how little is sold in Brazil given it's historic links to Portugal.
