@dissolve @lijn @mattl The date at any point in the world depends on what rime zone it is in

@Colliefullife. Lots of good boosts ftom there too

@Reuterdahl I suggest you reread what I wrote, and take a look at the PDO document if you don't believe me - that is the ultimate authority. (Edit: Sorry, that came out a bit snarky, but if I continue with this discussion I'm just going to be repeating myself. Happy to clarify anything I wrote, but otherwise I'm finished)

@Reuterdahl OK, but if it is made with any grapes outside the the demarcated region it should NOT have "Porto" on the label. The PDO document is quite clear on that.

It seems the second sentence of my original comment applies, even if I wrote it as a joke.

@Reuterdahl May I ask where you got that information?

I'm trying to keep an open mind and am curious, but everything I have read indicates that the names Porto and Port are synonymous. Both names are protected and covered by the same PDO, which is regulated by the IVDP.

Here is the EU link to the PDO documentation. It is in Portuguese, but there are web tools to translate the PDFs (which I have just used)
https://ec.europa.eu/info/food-farming-fisheries/food-safety-and-quality/certification/quality-labels/geographical-indications-register/details/EUGI00000006172

@Reuterdahl It says "Porto" on the label, which means it is a Port. Or at least that it is claiming to be one 😉

#introduction

I'm new on this platform and still finding my way around. I have many interests, and my focus changes a lot, so it's difficult to know what to highlight, but let's try.

Wine is a big interest. It was massive, but I'm now a lot less geeky and more into enjoying drinking it. I still occasionally blog on the subject here: www.winenous.co.uk. #wine #winelover #winegeek

Georgia is also currently a big topic of interest: the country (not the US state), and its people, history, culture, language and food. Oh, and of course its wine! #georgia #საქართველო #ღვინო

@knottedthreads @freemo And even if Seán was English, since when has English pronunciation had anything to do with logic? His surname could be Featherstonehaugh for example

@worldsendless IME even in professional software development it is often something of a token activity or unnecessary chore

@worldsendless When did you learn to code? I'm pretty sure it was used in the mid 90s, but you had to roll your own system back then (which was true for so many things that are now done by libraries)
