It is not as healthy IF your still consuming the same amount as the poster above me stated. Ports are not to be served in a regular wine glass and are meant to be "sipped " not literally, but nearly, to maximize the full flavor and enjoyment of such a quality beverage. Having someone drink 2-3 full 7oz pours of port a day as recommend by the poster above is ludicrous and not healthy in the slightest. It would be just as bad as encouraging someone to enjoy 3/ 4 a bottle of brandy or cognac a day which overtime would lead to alcoholism not to mention a waste of such a fine beverage that should be savored and oz or two at a time. I've seen guests/ managers/ bartenders handout, give,and drink full glasses (7oz pours) of port before and it screams, "You have no idea what your doing " to anyone watching who knows. Not to mention slaughtering ones profit or liquor cost. Just put it in an aperitif glass and let its flavors linger on your tongue one sip at a time and in 1-2 oz pours in a order and your fine. |
