Answer 2

The Port Institute in Lisbon uses and sells a specially designed glass -- here is a picture on a press release about it -- http://www.infoportwine.com/news_archives_2002.htm#Introduction_to_the_new_Port_Glass.

However, this glass is virtually identical to the standard ISO tasting glass that is widely available except for having a squared stem with a thumb shape indentation in it (note the photo).

So, if you are keen on wine you should have a few ISO tasting glasses already and you may as well use those.

Whicever glass you use, it should be large enough to pour a decent measure of Port without filling the glass more than half full.

Answer 3

Vintage port glasses are beautiful! Try decanting your port first, then pour into a vintage style port glass.
