Not forgetting the classic combination of port and cheese; consider any type of port with a mature cheddar, and a fine vintage port with a good quality Stilton. A tawny port goes well with milk chocolate, and a vintage port would find the perfect pairing with dark chocolate. The unique shape of the sipper encourages the port wine to be sipped from the bottom of the glass, through the curved pipe, ensuring that most of the port does not have contact with too much oxygen. Drinking from a lovely set of engraved port glasses and with a Hoggit-style, round bottomed decanter, which cannot be put down except on a special wooden base, an evening can be spent ensuring guests keep passing the port round the table – always to the left of course, and always in moderation!First introduced into Europe in the 17th Century, the port sipper, also known as a sipping pipe, was originally made from ceramic. Whether you prefer whisky, wine, or any other libation, these fancy pipes are here to enhance your sipping game to a whole new level. Based on the original sipper glasses from the 17th century, the Brandy Pipe follows traditional glass making techniques to help drinkers get the most from their drink and experience new flavours that were previously hidden.

There are several combinations that complement each other perfectly and can make the experience so much more enjoyable. A good claret or fine Burgundy would not be served in tiny glasses, therefore neither should a fine port wine. With a wide variety of unusual and quirky port wine glasses now available on the market, each proclaiming to deliver the ultimate drinking experience through their individual design and shape, we can at last say goodbye to the Paris goblet and thimble-sized port glass. A good corkscrew is one, used expertly to cleanly remove the cork without breakage, and a funnel for decanting to remove any debris from an unintended cork breakage, and also filter any sediment.

Designed to bring sophistication and enhanced flavours to your favourite alcoholic beverages, these glasses are a true game-changer.

With the bowl of the glass usually a classic tulip shape, wide at the bottom with a narrower lip, the most striking difference is the lack of stem. In its place is a hollow pipe that gently curves upwards towards the mouth of the glass, rather like a tea-pot handle. This helps prevent oxidation of the port, and the drinker is able to experience and enjoy the taste and flavour as the maker intended. Connoisseurs recommend that many fortified wines, such as port, be consumed at around 18 degrees to enhance the aromas, taste and flavour of the drink for perfect enjoyment. Added to the bottom of the glass are two feet that help with stability, allowing the glass to sit safely on a table.Not limited to brandy, this unique pipe can be used to appreciate other strong spirits and liqueurs that must be sipped to appreciate them fully.
