Yes Gabe, White Port was available in Goa. I remember receiving a 'calice' in some of the houses, in Loutulim, Aldona, Uccassaim and Cansaulim.
I also remember my mother being presented with small sample bottles by her cousin, prima Agatha, who married to one of the 5 do Outubro brothers How large was its sales-volume I can't say; nor do I remember the brand(s) name. Alfred

Date: Sun, 21 May 2006 22:25:37 +0100 Most, if not all Goenkars, know about Port Wine, as a Ruby Red drink? Well I have news for you - there is a White Port which is chilled and absolutely divine. Some excellent White Ports cost an arm and a leg. Perhaps some of the Lusophiles on this list could inform us, whether White Port Wine was available in Goa! Port Wine was freely available in Goa, greatly appreciated, for its bouquet, body and flavour, in Goa when there Portuguese were around. Vincola, is a poor substitute! More sugar than body. Let's get back on track, was there White Port available in Goa during the Portuguese time? -- DIE DULCI FREURE, DEV BOREM KORUM. Gabe Menezes.
