Want to buy a guy at work a bottle of port for his 50th. Not too flush financially at the moment, so was thinking of £50 absolute maximum.
Any suggestions.

wow! you're not flush and you'll blow £50 on a work mate. What would you spend if you were flush.

and I have no idea about port.
I like Fonseca Bin 27, well within your budget, I personally don't think it's worth spending loads on Port as it doesn't keep all that well once opened and who wants to quaff 75cl of expensive fortified wine in a couple of weeks?
It's best to go to a good wine merchant - you need to decide on style, and whether you want a port for drinking now, or one that will be at its best in a few years time.
One recommendation - for something a bit unusual, try a Colheita. It's a "vintage" tawny so is lighter in colour and style than other ports. I think it goes much better with cheese than heavier ports. I had this one last Christmas: [url= http://www.elegusto.co.uk/wine/wine_detail.php?productID=310 ]null[/url]
Within your budget and highly recommended - lovely taste of spices and dried fruits.

I'd love it if I could make a bottle last a couple of weeks!
For £50, I'd have a crack at tracking down a bottle of Quarles Harris 1977...
A bottle of port never lasts more than 2 days in my household. £50 for a bottle, dream come true 🙂
Go to a good merchant, talk to them.
How about....

Maybe not as good as making your own, but a nice alternative none the less.
