Personalised Port
Personalised port from Prestige Drinks is a bottle engraved with a name, message, photo, or logo before it reaches the recipient. The range covers Ruby, Tawny, LBV, White, and Rosé styles, in 20cl, 50cl, 75cl, and gift set formats, each available with personalisation.
Engraving is carried out in the UK, from our base in Leigh, Greater Manchester, once your design has been confirmed. The product grid below holds the current selection, including bottles from established producers such as Taylor's, Graham's, and Fonseca, along with live pricing and stock.
Port Style, Bottle Size, or Gift Set – What Should You Choose First?
The right first decision is recipient taste, not bottle appearance. Working through style, then occasion, then format keeps the product grid manageable instead of overwhelming.
- Known port preference: filter by Port Style (Ruby, Tawny, LBV, White, Rosé) and match it directly to what the recipient already drinks.
- Fixed occasion, unknown taste: filter by Size or Gift Set (20cl, 50cl, 75cl, trios) and let the occasion, not the palate, guide the choice.
- Serious port drinker: look for recognisable names such as Taylor's, Graham's, Sandeman, or Fonseca, and favour LBV or aged Tawny styles.
Ruby, Tawny, LBV, White, Rosé – Which Port Style Suits the Recipient?
Each port style suits a different type of recipient, and matching the two correctly is the single biggest factor in whether a personalised bottle lands as a thoughtful gift or a guess.
| Style | Taste Profile | Best Suited To |
|---|---|---|
| Ruby | Young, fruity, approachable | Casual celebrations, recipients who like bold, sweet flavours |
| Tawny | Wood-aged, nutty, softer sweetness | Older recipients, retirement gifts, dessert pairing |
| LBV | Full-bodied, high quality, no vintage premium | Milestone birthdays, thank-you gifts for a port enthusiast |
| White Port | Lighter, fresher, less sweet | White wine drinkers, summer aperitif occasions |
| Rosé | New style, playful, fruity | Novelty gifts, younger recipients, non-traditional choices |
Tawny is the safest pick when you know someone drinks port but not which style, while LBV gives a gift that feels impressive without needing vintage-level spend. The grid lists options across all five styles, including bottles from Taylor's, Graham's, and Sandeman.
Quarter, Half, Full, or Trio – Picking the Right Bottle Size for the Occasion
Bottle format signals gift value as much as the port style does, so it deserves its own decision separate from taste. A 20cl bottle and a 75cl bottle carry very different weight for the same occasion.
- 20cl quarter bottle: a taste-sized gift or novelty add-on, well suited to colleagues, Secret Santa, or a small thank you.
- 50cl half bottle: a compact but considered gift, suited to a close friend, a host, or an anniversary.
- 75cl full bottle: the standard celebratory format, suited to weddings, retirements, milestone birthdays, and close family.
- 3×20cl trio or gift set: a variety set for shared tasting, suited to couples or a port-curious friend who wants to compare styles.
Format also affects engraving legibility. A 75cl bottle offers the largest curved surface, so it suits longer messages or a logo, while a 20cl bottle reads best with a short name and date. Check the product grid for which formats are currently available in each style.
Engraving, Photo, Message Limits, and Glassware – What Personalisation Can You Add?
Three personalisation methods cover most port gifting needs: laser engraving, photo engraving, and logo or crest engraving. Each suits a different type of message and a different level of finish.
Laser engraving is the standard option for names, dates, short messages, and a choice of typeface, applied to the label area or bottle facing where it stays legible on the glass. Photo engraving is the premium option for portraits, signatures, or pet images, and a well-lit, high-contrast source photo produces the sharpest result on curved glass. Logo or crest engraving suits corporate gifts, clubs, and special commissions where brand reproduction matters. A design preview is shown before engraving begins wherever this is offered, so you can check placement and wording before the order is finalised. A short, well-spaced message engraves more clearly than a dense block of text, and where character limits apply, the design preview will flag this before you confirm.
A personalised port glass or a luxury hamper is worth adding for host gifts, wedding presents, or a recipient who already collects port, since it extends the presentation beyond the bottle itself.
Every engraved bottle is packed to travel securely from our Leigh workshop, since a personalised gift only earns its keep if it arrives in one piece. Prestige Drinks despatches with carbon neutral delivery, and the product listing for each bottle confirms current packaging, pricing, and stock so you know exactly what you're ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which style of port makes the best gift?
Tawny suits an older recipient or a dessert pairing, Ruby suits a casual celebratory gift, and LBV suits a milestone occasion where you want a higher-quality bottle without vintage pricing. Match the style to what the recipient already drinks where you know it. Check the product grid to see which styles are currently available for personalisation.
What size personalised port bottle should I buy?
Choose a 75cl bottle for weddings, retirements, and milestone birthdays, a 50cl bottle for a closer, more casual gift, and a 20cl bottle for a colleague or novelty gift. A 3×20cl trio suits a couple or a shared tasting occasion. Larger bottles also allow longer engraved messages.
Can I engrave a photo or logo on a port bottle?
Yes, photo engraving and logo or crest engraving are both available alongside standard laser engraving. Photo engraving works best from a high-contrast, well-lit source image. A design preview lets you check the result before the order is confirmed.
How long does a personalised message need to be for good engraving?
Shorter, well-spaced wording engraves more clearly than a long block of text on curved glass. A full 75cl bottle has room for a longer message or a logo, while a 20cl bottle suits a name and a date. The design preview will show you how your specific wording fits before engraving begins.
Will engraving affect the port or the bottle?
No, engraving is applied to the outside of the glass and does not affect the port inside or how it should be stored. The bottle remains fully sealed and safe to keep as normal. Check the product listing for the specific bottle if you are unsure about its finish before ordering.

We treat all personalised bottles individually, taking our time and experience to set out your message to create the most impactful bottle decoration possible. This may include increase the size of some fonts within the message to pay particular focus on key lines or phrases, spacing message over extra lines and removing unnecessary punctuation.
Yes, all the lines of messages will be centred.
If you can type it, we can engrave it! When using alternative languages it may be neccessary for us to alter the font to ensure all characters are supported, in these cases we use the closest style font to your original selection.
Unfortunatley we are unable to engrave emoji's or picture characters. Where these are added the character will be removed from your message.
We specially select the fonts we use. Once a bottle has been engraved the cut glass is then infilled with a special decorative silver paste. These fonts ensure we provide the optimum width and depth during the engraving process to creat maximum visibility once infilled.
The fonts we currently use are: Lucida Calligraphy, Lucida Handwriting, Verdana and Segoe Print.
