Adding to the question....Once it has been opened, should it be stored at room temp or in the fridge? Tried the six grapes last night. I liked it. Very sweet and smooth.

Either way, but if you serve port cold, it will be more acidic and not as sweet. I would keep it out and put in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving again. Port should be served around 62 degrees.
