You'll notice many port houses have British names: Churchill's, Cockburn, Graham's, etc. In the 18th century, very little wine was available from Napoleonic France, so Brits turned to Portugal. Because port is fortified, it survived the journey to England better than most table wines. British importers set up shop in the Douro, and the rest is history. Vintage ports are a port house's top bottle, traditionally only produced in the best vintages. In years where the vintage is not declared by the producer, "Quinta" ports are often made -- they are vintage-specific but not as massive (or expensive) as the flagship ports. Vintage ports tend to be around $60 and up, whereas LBVs are between $20 and $30. Substantially darker than the tawny, the Pousada looks just like a red table wine. It de...

In 1797, the Prime Minister of Great Britain announced a substantial increase in the stamp duty on newspapers. This increase, and indeed the tax itself, has been variously represented as an attack on press freedom and an act of suppression of the working classes. This paper reconsiders these representations by reference to primary sources and concludes that the increases in stamp duty were part of a revenue raising exercise in which taxes on a number of luxury items were increased, including newspapers which were not at the time viewed at being necessities.

Portugal isn't simply the home of fortified wine and crackling Mateus (bubbly pink wine in that short, squat bottle); these days Portuguese producers are crafting some of the best value-priced reds and whites available. Perusing the generally-smaller Portuguese sections of Liquor Marts and wine stores, it's hard to find a wine over $20. Like many of their Spanish and Italian counterparts, Portuguese winemakers have typically worked diligently on crafting wines from indigenous grape varietals (Tinta Roriz, Malvasia and Bastardo, for example) rather than those that dominate the global market (Shiraz, Chardonnay, etc.). However, globally popular varietals are now creeping into Portuguese table wines at a steady rate, throwing their D.O.C. certification (similar to France's A.O.C. or Canada...
