Port Wines Are Overrated
Granted there can be some very good Ports and they fill a nitch, but too many are simply grape juice with the sugar intact and a big dose of alcohol thrown in. Many popular mass produced brands often nothing unique nor complex - just the sugar and the booze. And port wines often get more than twice the store shelf space of sherries and 10 times the space of Madeiras or marsalas. They're overrated.

Port is tends to be appreciated by the uneducated palette. Still, you can still get your swerve on drinking it. All it's good for in my book.

The only ports I ever liked were the cheap tawney ports. If you spend more than 15 bucks they get steadily worse. Of course I've always been more of a believer in rotten grain over spoiled grapes so who am I to say.
