Here is an interesting 54 second video of how to open a vintage bottle of port using port tongs.
Apparently these ports can be decades old and the corks may disintegrate on opening, so this is they way they open it.Were you born in a Vintage Port year?
It is the custom to give a bottle of vintage port from the year of the person’s birthday as a birthday/christening gift.
Here is a Vintage Port chart.

I never ever got a bottle of vintage port! Valerie
Port is a little too strong for me but I know many people who really enjoy it. That is a very interesting video. Red hot tongs and an ice cold feather...who knew? You learn something new every day.
I missed being born on a vintage port year. Bit of a shame but I'm not much of a drinker. Especially a drink that recommends I hold it and don't actually drink it.
I don't think I've drank a glass of port so wouldn't know if I like it or not. My birth year is not one of the vintage years, but my daughter's is. However, she doesn't drink anything with alcohol. Sure would like to try some of that really good stuff just to see what it's like.
lol
I don't even know what port is?
I'm not familiar with vintage ports, but I learned a bit here, thank you for the interesting discourse!
