How To: Open Vintage Port With Tongs – Free Video

Opening vintage Port with tongs has become somewhat of a legend in the wine world.

In this video, Adrian Bridge, CEO of the Taylor Fladgate Group (think top names such as Taylor's, Croft and Fonseca) teaches the mysterious and difficult practice to my son Jack. Not a bad trick for a dinner party!

(Beware: Last time I tried this myself I ended up smashing two bottles of 1963 Fonseca.)
