Wyndham Fletcher was Managing Director of Cockburn Smithes & Co. in London until his retirement in 1975. This brief account of his time in the Port trade gives a very interesting description of the workings of the trade and the styles of Port available in the years prior to the change in the law regarding the shipment and bottling of Port outside Portugal. This is a very nice item to own and it contains some very interesting and amusing anecdotes that I have not seen in any other publication.
