From wikepedia an explanation of what it is.
Port wine is typically richer, sweeter, heavier, and possesses a higher alcohol content than most other wines. This is caused by the addition of distilled grape spirits (such as brandy) to fortify the wine and halt fermentation before all the sugar is converted to alcohol.
It is commonly served after meals as a dessert wine, often with cheese. White and tawny ports are often served as an apéritif. It has an alcohol content of roughly 20%.
Wine with less than 16% ethanol cannot protect itself against spoilage if exposed to air; with an alcohol content of 18% or higher, port wine can safely be stored in wooden casks that 'breathe', thereby permitting the fine aging of port wine.

i'm basing this off of first look. i think "form of ingredients" is incorrect, and does no longer propose employing that throughout a sentence, merely use, kinds of foodstuff or assorted delicacies, differing dishes, so on so forth. i think you need to use "form of foodstuff" in a fashion of inquisition as you mentioned.... "what sort of foodstuff do you like?" Your phraseology "kinds of foodstuff" could maximum probable (as I mentioned it is in the commencing up look, have not given it a lot of concept) be used as a assertion. "i'm experienced in the makings of many distinctive kinds of foodstuff" Now i'm merely pointing out the main functional, and the main probable makes use of of those 2 words, this is not concrete, you may desire to interchange them i'm specific. As for adjustments of meaning, there are none. one is singular, the different plural. i'm no longer a professor of linguistics, hell, i haven't even long previous to college yet. i'm a author although, so possibly which will grant upon me advantage, on your eyes.
