Although many may try to recreate it will not technically be classified as port. Remember that Port wines can only originate in Portugal. Not to get confused with all Portuguese wines, Port specifically is made in a different process than other Portuguese table wines (see fortification process below).

So feel free to keep your port wine glass readily available for use in the near future. Ports themselves keep their structure for a number of weeks after you extract the cork. If you have a bar cart or storage display piece, feel free to showcase the glasses just remember you may need to rise your glasses before the next use. Cabinetry is the best means for storage as when glasses are left out on counter spaces they are more likely to get dust or kitchen oils to drape the exterior. Storing port glasses is much easier than a standard wine glass as they are naturally almost half the size. Always ensure a proper polish with a microfiber cloth upon the conclusion of the wash cycle to remove any water marks for your next port experience. This accompanied with the heightened sugar content will make removing remaining wine residues slightly more difficult than a standard wine varietal. We do recommend a standard wash cycle instead of a hand wash due to the naturally thick viscosity of ports. Opposed to standard long stem glassware, port glasses usually are small enough to fit any dishwasher. Built for sipping in small increments these adorable small wine glasses set the tone from the very start. The shorter stem and bowl put emphasis on control with less intent to swirl or agitate the wine. Where the base of the bowl has a wider diameter than the rim, which helps to concentrate the aromatics when they hit your nose.

A classic port glass looks and feels like a small standard wine glass. By shrinking the serving size by half, the “mini” wine glass was born. Due to its sweet and robust nature, a three ounce pour for a glass of port can be entirely satisfying. When a standard glass of dinner wine is served from 5 to 6 ounces per glass, most dessert wines are found in smaller increments about 3 ounces or 85ml.
