I need some (preferably high alcohol) neutral grape alcohol to make port - I have no idea where to get such a thing - can anyone help me? I need it soon...

ciroc vodka is made from grapes and is really good.
Pisco is a liquor made from grapes and would be good also.

Find either unaged (clear/colorless) brandy, which is what's traditionally used for port, or if you're set on neutral, Ciroc vodka is distilled from grapes. You don't want to use aged brandy (any that are brown) because the flavors from the barrel will affect the finish of your port.

There is this stuff called Everclear. It's something like 200 proof. They use it to make grapa. I don't know if it grape alcohol, though. Usually, port is wine that has evaporated a bit to increase it's alcohol content before it's aged.
