Some bottles are made for the last course of the evening.

Shop Port Wine from Portugal's Leading Houses

When you shop port wine with us, you are choosing from producers that have shaped the Douro Valley for generations, including Taylor Fladgate, Graham's, Fonseca, Croft, Cockburn's, Warre's, Ferreira, Kopke and Sandeman.

  • Ruby Port: Young, deep red and full of fresh berry fruit. A natural partner for dark chocolate.
  • Tawny Port: Aged in wooden casks, which brings out notes of caramel, dried fig and toasted nuts. Look for 10, 20 and 40-year age statements.
  • White Port: Made from white grapes. Drier styles work well as an aperitif, mixed with tonic.
  • Pink Port: Lighter and fruit-led. Best served chilled.
  • Reserve Port: Blends such as Graham's Six Grapes and Fonseca Bin 27 add depth without a vintage price tag.

Sherry Wine for Sale: Bone-Dry to Lusciously Sweet

Sherry is a fortified wine from the area around Jerez in southern Spain.

  • Fino and Manzanilla are pale, crisp and dry. Serve chilled with olives or seafood.
  • Amontillado and Oloroso are darker and nuttier, with a savoury edge that suits cheese and cured meats.
  • Pedro Ximénez is dark, sticky and intensely sweet. Try it poured over vanilla ice cream.

Browse the sherry wine for sale in this collection to find a style that suits your table.

Sauternes, Ice Wine and Other Sweet Wines

Not every dessert wine is fortified. Sauternes from Bordeaux gets its honeyed richness from grapes affected by noble rot. Ice wine is pressed from grapes frozen on the vine, which concentrates their sugar and acidity. You will also find late-harvest whites and sweet reds, such as Tannat from Uruguay.

How to Choose the Best Port Wine to Buy

The best port wine to buy depends on how you plan to drink it.

  • For gifting: An aged tawny in a presentation decanter makes a memorable present.
  • For a cheese board: Pair a tawny with hard cheeses, or a ruby with blue cheese.
  • For cocktails: White Port mixes better than any other style.
  • For everyday sipping: A reserve ruby gives good value and keeps well after opening.

Ruby Port is young, bright and fruity, while tawny ages in wooden casks and develops nutty, caramel flavours. When you shop for port wine, choose ruby for chocolate desserts and tawny for cheese, nuts or sipping slowly after a long dinner.

A medium sherry or an Amontillado is an easy introduction. Among the sherry wine for sale here, these styles balance gentle sweetness with nutty depth. Once you know your taste, try a crisp Fino or a rich Pedro Ximénez next.

Serve sweet whites such as Sauternes and ice wine well chilled, and tawny Port slightly cool. Small glasses work best because these wines are so rich. When you order dessert wine, allow around 75ml per person for a dessert course.

An aged tawny of 10 or 20 years makes a reliable present. It is ready to drink, keeps well once opened and pleases most. The best port wine to buy for a special occasion often comes in a decorative bottle.
