This new iteration of the Vintage Port Bond – the first of its kind on the market – follows hot on the heels of the very successful Graham’s Vintage Port Bond, launched in 2015, which allowed consumers to purchase a case of Vintage Port in its harvest year. By introducing the option to purchase a single bottle, Graham’s has taken this innovative idea and made it even more accessible to those seeking to find the perfect gift.
