It depends on the style of port. But probably not as long as most people would think
There are many port styles, but all can be reduced to three broad categories where this issue is concerned. First, there are ready-to-drink red ports, which include the styles known as ruby and late-bottled vintage. These wines should be consumed within roughly one month after opening. The precise window, as for every wine, depends on the bottle’s fluid level – shorter if it’s mostly empty, longer if it’s mostly full.
Lastly, there are tawny ports, my favourite style. Aged for a longer period in oak barrels, which accounts for their brownish hue, they tend to be sturdier. These glorious wines can hold up for as long as six months. However, in my house, they tend not to sit around for that long.Join wine critic Beppi Crosariol and other Globe and Mail journalists in July aboard the Globe Portugal Cruise.
