Visited M&S today and all their Port had the V for Vegetarian on the bottles. The cheaper of the Ports that is usually £7.99 and reduced at the moment to £5.99 is a two time winner and has a very good review by the Decanter magazine.

M&S port is not bad and the £5.99 is ok, still have a bottle from last year, probably a bit past its best but will do for those who have had too much to drink and dont know any better LOL Laughing Laughing Laughing
