red port
A type of sweet, dark red fortified wine, originally from Portugal. Hence: a drink of port; a glass used for port. Formerly also called red port, as opposed to white port (white port n. at white adj. and n. Compounds 1f).Within the European Union, the term port is legally delimited to fortified wine produced in the Douro Valley in Northern Portugal; outside the European Union, it is now also used of similar fortified wines produced in other parts of the world.
