Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Comments on the article

1. "Until 1986 it could only be exported from Portugal from Vila Nova de Gaia near Porto, Portugal's second-largest city."

The statement, as written, is misleading. It sounds as if Vila Nova de Gaia is the second largest city in Portugal which is not the case.

2. For the "white port" section it's not clear when it was first produced and how it's stored.

3. "Colheita port should not be confused with vintage port".

This reference should be made after the "vintages" section.

4. "The earliest known reference to a style of port with this name in a merchant's list is to be found in The Wine Society's catalogue from 1964, which includes Fonseca's Quinta Milieu 1958, bottled in the UK, also in 1964."

The sentence is unclear.

5. "Unfiltered LBV will usually be improved by extra years in the bottle."

What is improved?

6. "It can age as long as Vintage Ports and are very difficult to identify as LBVs when inserted into blind tastings of Vintage Ports."

This reference should be made after the "vintages" section.

7. "Filtered LBVs can improve with age, but only to a limited degree."

What is improved?

8. "Unlike vintage port, which has to be sourced from grapes from a single vintage"

This reference should be made after the "vintages" section.

9. "The term vintage has a distinct meaning in the context of vintage port. While a vintage is simply the year in which a wine is made, most producers of vintage port restrict their production of year-labelled bottlings to only the best years, a few per decade. Contrast with second wines, where (primarily) Bordeaux producers release a year-labelled top wine almost every year, but also lesser quality wines in some years."

This is not a clear explanation.

10. I'm not sure why there is a sub-section called "vintage port" under the "style" section immediately followed by a section called "vintages". I find it redundant and not structured.

11. The image of the Kedem New York State Port is not a good one since it's cropped. The bottle should not take the entire image. I would replace it with a better image.

An opportunity to shine as an editor

I am a technical editor and I've just spent some time updating existing reference format and a few minor improvements but this article is a real opportunity for a text/topic-based editor interested in the subject. —¿philoserf? (talk) 21:59, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
