Does anyone know what wine I am talking about? It is an old wine that they used to drink in England after dinner. It can be served white or red, usually it is found white. It is served in a scotch glass typically, on the rocks. It is very sweet and served with or after dessert.Thanks so much for your help!

Sounds like port - a wine fortified with brandy.

Hey all, I'm new to this forum. I like what I see a lot, and will be checking in often.

Hi Hula & Hades, and welcome to the Wine Board. I think Hades hit it on the head.

"usually white and on the rocks?" Port? Am I doing something wrong?

Innkeeper · 12-15-2003, 10:02 PM,

Yes my dear, there are White Ports.

You're better off with a sherry than a white port IMHO.
