A friend has requested a bottle of Warner's or Warners ? port, 1977 vintage. I've never heard of it. Any idea what they may be referring to ?



Thanks in advance,



C.


Warres, maybe? Dale

As others have correctly stated, you were close - it's Warre's. I see you're in UK, but here is a URL:

Don't know about shipping, but they can instruct you.

If your local retailer cannot get this, and you cannot ship it, you might want to look for a slightly more recent, but good vintage 2000. Some spots in US, do not have older vintages in stock. However, you might be lucky and have a well-stocked wine shop that does a good Port trade. In the UK, I would assume so, as you chaps put Port on the map, so to speak.

Good luck, Hunt

Waare's 1977 is going for about 330 Pounds per case of 12 at UK wine auctions, according to the January 2005 issue of Decanter. You probably will have to pay somewhat more than 1/12 of this price if you buy a single bottle at retail. There should still be plenty of the 1977 around, but you may have to search at several large city wine shops and online to find it.
