What country is the largest consumer of Port in the world?

The United Kingdom is the largest consumer of Port. Most of the major Port lodges are owned by British companies. (Hilary's favorite port is Graham's Tawny Port- aged 20 years)






These pictures are from Hilary and her husband's trip to Porto, Portugal last year. You can see some of the different port lodges in the top picture- you walk from tasting room to tasting room along the hillside. The bottom picture is of the Douro river with Eiffel's bridge (yup, same guy who designed the Tower in Paris).
