So how do you like them? I was thinking about ordering them a while back but never got around to it.

It might just be a foodie urban legend, but I heard that buying vintage port in 375ml bottles helps it become drinkable at a younger age.  You only have to wait 10-12 years, instead of 20+

Any truth to that?

Yes, although I drink many a port before it's 20th year. 1985s are fine now.

Half bottles of Champagne are produced by transferring under pressure finished Champagne from larger bottles. This is the same process they use to fill the extremely large bottles. This process always seems to change the wine for the worse

Craig,

I agree with you on this. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Krug Grand Cuvee is the only champagne that is fermented in the half bottle as well as the full bottle.
