- fargle 4y agoNice. Except I prefer Tawny Port, but I'll still remember it.
- Biganon 4y agoI think "there's some red port left in the bottle" would be better ; the negation kinda made me think "red" (or "port") was NOT "left".
- tacticus 4y agoFrom memory the No Red Port Left is also about Red on Red passing for ships
- noxvilleza 4y agoPort wine (in a decanter) is also traditionally passed to the left when being poured.
