Should Port Be Chilled?

- These Ports can be served at room temperature, but Tawny Ports are best enjoyed slightly chilled (55°F to 58°F ) where as young Ruby Ports are best enjoyed slightly below room temperature (60°F to 64°F).

Should Port be refrigerated?

Port stays good whether stored in the fridge or at room temperature. If you have space in the fridge, though, put it in there. It will last a bit longer because the cold essentially puts the port into hibernation, slowing the oxidation process.

What is the best way to serve Port?

Serving: Port is best served in 3 oz (~75 ml) portions at 55–68ºF (13–20ºC) in dessert wine or official Port wine glasses. If you do not have dessert wine glasses, use white wine glasses or sparkling wine glasses.
