My wife loves entertaining. She'd really appreciate learning how those are used. She was the one to turn me on to port wines in the first place. I figured I'd practice on a few bottles of cheap wine (we have one of those little chimineas in the back for the coals, or there's always the grill), and already got the decanter.

Seeing that vintage ports aren't cheap, the cost of the tongs I've found don't justify that price. I mean, we probably wouldn't drink enough to warrant spending $75 or whatever on port tongs. But she does love her kitchen / wine accessories.......
