Port

Port is a fortified wine, made by adding a distilled spirit to wine. Per 100ml, it provides 655 kJ of energy, 12g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugar, and 16g of alcohol. It contains very little protein and is not a substantial source of vitamins or minerals.

Alcohol affects judgement and coordination, and drinking it carries health risks. Both alcohol and sugar contribute to port’s energy content, which is relevant for people monitoring their energy or sugar intake. Its low fat and salt content does not remove the risks associated with alcohol. The full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
