Rabelo Boat - Enjoyed for centuries as an aperitif or dessert wine, Port is a fortified wine that takes its named from the place of its invention, the Portuguese city of Porto. Porto is at the mouth of the 560-mile-long Rio Douro (River of Gold). Port wine was traditionally conveyed to the city from vineyards along the Douro by small transport ships known as Rabelos that were specially designed for river's often-treacherous conditions.
