Dow's NV discounted at Supermarkets

Post by Topper »

Considering some cheap quaffers at Xmas - Anyone know if there is a a difference in the "Finest Reserve" for Dow's ? Wine searcher has different listing - but I don't see the "master blend" on Dow's site, http://www.dows-port.com/section.php?id=1120 they only list a Trademark?

Dow's Trademark Finest Reserve Port 75cl - Sainsburys
http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/gro ... -port-75cl
http://www.wine-searcher.com/wine-46471 ... t-portugal (note old label)

Dows Master Blend Finest Reserve Port 75Cl - Tesco
http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/ ... =268515954
http://www.wine-searcher.com/wine-26102 ... t-portugal

I was wondering if the "Finest Reserve" are basically the same ?( but different label, and different price?) or Master Blend actually different.

I suspect these will be much the same in terms of quality but will be slightly different blends. Both should be good quality entry level Ports.
