I was taught the mnemonic “There’s no red port left in the bottle”. Port wine is red.


I think "there's some red port left in the bottle" would be better ; the negation kinda made me think "red" (or "port") was NOT "left".


From memory the No Red Port Left is also about Red on Red passing for ships


Nice. Except I prefer Tawny Port, but I'll still remember it.


Port wine (in a decanter) is also traditionally passed to the left when being poured.
