I started collecting books about port and wine about five years ago and now have a substantial collection which includes a few interesting old books on Portugal, Portuguese wine, Gastronomy and even the taboo subject of Temperance!

The purpose of this site is to allow other port and wine lovers to find books of interest that were published during various periods in history. For most books I have written a short summary that you can access by clicking on the "More Details" button under the book's title. Some of these will explain my impressions of the book and others will simply be factual statements about what the book is and when it was published. These summaries are my thoughts having either read or browsed through each book, nothing more, and you are free to accept or dismiss my opinions as you see fit. If you want to buy any of these books or find out more about them just click on the title of the book and you will be taken to the relevant page on www.amazon.co.uk.

This website was created using a smart little piece of software called DeliciousLibrary2 that I use to catalogue my books at home. I have very little control over what the site looks like or does so this is it, at least for now.

Please note that I have no affiliation to either DeliciousLibrary2 or Amazon.

I hope you enjoy browsing the shelves and that you find my comments useful in choosing what to read next.
