White port is not as well known as richer sweet red port, but it can be found in most supermarkets and good wine stores. It has a fresh, summery grape flavour that sits perfectly with tonic’s slight bitterness. Together they make a long, refreshing aperitif that is lower in alcohol than a gin and tonic.
