White is the new Port!

Vin Alto Classic White Port

White port has a nutty character, with lots of stone fruit flavour and is richer and fruitier than a Fino sherry or white vermouth.  Aficionados dismiss white port as banal and Englishmen refuse to take it seriously.  This should be the first big clue that it's worth trying and especially as a cocktail it's refreshingly first class.

Here is a perfect way to try our White Port, with the most fashionable drink in Europe this summer.  Only half as potent as a Gin & Tonic, you can drink this all night!

Vin Alto Classic White Port Spritzer

Ingredients:
60 ml Vin Alto Classic White port
Tonic water
4 fresh mint leaves
slice of lemon or lime

Pour the white port in a long-drink glass.  Gently crush the mint leaves between your hands and add to the glass.  Add lots of ice, top up with Tonic water and garnish with lemon or lime.  Stir and enjoy!

Imagine this......

A dinner party of different nationalities had arrived at a restaurant. They each ordered a glass of Vin Alto Chardonnay, but when the wine arrived they noticed that each of the glasses had a fly in it.

• The Swede demanded to have new wine in the same glass.
• The Englishman demanded to have new wine in a new glass.
• The Finn picked the fly out of the wine and drank the wine.
• The Russian drank the wine, fly and all.
• The Chinese ate the fly but left the wine.
• The Dutchman caught the fly and sold it to the Chinese.
• The Norwegian took the fly and went off to fish for cod.
• The Irishman ground the fly and mixed it in the wine, which he then donated to the Englishman.
• The American sued the restaurant and claimed for a 65 million dollar compensation for mental suffering.
• The Scotsman grabbed the fly by the throat and roared: 'Now spit out all that you swallowed!!'

The Italian drank two thirds of the wine and then demanded to have new wine!  He liked it so much that he bought a case of Vin Alto Chardonnay 2005 .
