Port Wine
Port is made by adding a grape brandy to the wine as it is fermenting. This stops the wine from fermenting any further, leaving it substantially more alcoholic – and therefore with a higher sugar content, since less of the sugar is able to finish converting into alcohol. This practice has been around for hundreds of years, since brandy was historically added to wines from northern Portugal to help them remain preserved during their trip to England.

Port is a strong, usually red, fortified wine. It originates in northern Portugal, from the city of Porto in the Douro region. While true port is always from Portugal, in recent years, port has come to be used as a generic term for this style of fortified wine. As a result, many Portuguese producers have begun to differentiate their product by labeling it Porto.
