In this short today, Port wine is a Portuguese dessert wine made from red and white wine grapes and fortified with brandy, a  liquor produced by distilling wine. Only wines produced in Portugal’s Douro Valley can be labeled as Port.  The port wine growers are concentrated along the Douro River, like Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, where grapes are still crushed by foot.  Port is named after Portugal’s seaport city of Porto in the Douro region, which became an official appellation in 1756.
