Port is a wine that has had the fermentation stopped by the addition of brandy. This will leave the wine both sweet (6-10% sugar) and highly alcoholic (18-21%). Port is usually consumed after dinner or sometimes with stronger cheeses. I make both dry wines and port professionally.

Wine is just fremented grape juice. Port is a foritified wine, meaning that "nutral grape spirits" (unaged brandy) has been added, origanaly to make shipping it by sail boat easier.

port is known as fortified wine. It is thicker, and has been highly sweetened. Wine has not been fortified and is just distilled. Try some port, its yummmmmy Cheers!
