The bottle is passed to the left and you pour your own. if you want more then you look at the person who currently has the port in fron of them and say
'The port is with you sir!'
They should then pass the port to the left until it reaches you.

It is served in very small glasses as a dessert wine. Since fewer and fewer people enjoy port (it's an acquired taste), it is best to put glasses at place settings, and the port accessible to all. The host offers the guests a drink, which he offers to pour, and then pours his own. When I serve port nowadays, I always make a brief statement about how i know that many people do not enjoy it - making it easier for people to decline.

Port is drinken once the meal is finished. Small glassful (1/2 a wine glass) and pass the bottle to the left.

you dont have port until you have eaten and are ready for smoking even if you dont smoke but if its good port then you sip it, if it's crap port then drink it quickly and put your glass down making sure you dont have anymore.

Help yourself, if you want it, and then pass the decanter to the person on your left. If you don't want any, just pass it on, but don't sit on it!
