Ruthergeln, Victotia, Australia is rightly proud of its fortified wines :)

Hi,

I saw that sign... nearly a quarter of a century ago!

Not very politically correct though... Who does and does not use the word "Port" for sweet fortified red wines these days?

All the best,
Alex R.

You're right Alex, but the rules only changed recently and a long time after that sign went up. There's a bit of humour and history there, I think. :wink:
