Looking to expand my collection of <£20 (and preferably <£15) half bottles for days when i feel like a nice glass of port but don't want to go crazy. Any suggestions for things currently available on the UK market?

I currently have (or have purchased):

Croft 04 LBV
Niepoort 96 LBV
Sandeman Vau 99
Skeffington 09

I too like to have a selection of half bottles. I don't have that many, but they are useful to have around.

If you're looking to pick some up, wine-searcher pro allows you to specify bottle sizes as part of your search criteria. Fine & Rare - who I know you are familiar with - have F07 @ £22.45, F03 @ £19.50, Silval 00 @ £17, Ni97 @ £22 (interesting!...might not suffer the cork problems), GC80 @ £21. You can also often come across Warre and Dow 1983 and 1985 in half bottles on the auction market for the sort of price that you have in mind.

Been thinking of getting some bottles from here when I get paid but notice they have 1/2s as well.

more specifically they have 12x Quinta Do Crasto 1996 lbv at £91.20

I've picked up a few Tesco Finest VP (Symington) 2000 37.5cl for ~£10ea, which I find ok for this.

I think the advertised 1996 may be 2006
