is an exclusive type of fortified wine. Porto Wine is produced from
special grapes that are grown in the Douro valley. Porto wine is
available both in red and white varieties. Normally it is sweet and
dry in taste and is served as dessert wine. The price of the wine
varies depending on two factors: one is the age of the wine and
second is the mode of preparation. This wine is a 17th
