$20 - $100+
A standard 750ml bottle of Taylor Port typically costs between $20 and $100 or more. Price varies significantly based on age, vintage, bottle size, and the specific type of Port. Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) is generally more affordable than Vintage Port, which commands a higher price due to its limited production and aging potential.

- Ruby Port: The most basic style, aged in large vats.
- Tawny Port: Aged in wooden barrels, developing nutty and caramel flavors.
- Late Bottled Vintage (LBV): From a single year, aged 4-6 years in oak.
- Vintage Port: From exceptional years, aged in bottle for decades.
Factors Affecting Price
- Vintage: Exceptional years produce higher-priced Vintage Port.
