I’ve just recently really gotten into ports. I find it a lovely way to wind down the day. Currently, I don’t feel like I have any glasses that really fit the bill, here. I don’t think coups or wine glasses really make sense. Looking for suggestions! Bonus points if you have links to websites with your suggestions!
Glasses for Port

I find the shape of a small white wine glass works well for Port (also for Champagne).
My daughter has Port glasses like the one with the Fonseca bottle. The other two were in Porto. I like the shorter ones better. We were gifted some taller ones, but I don't like them as much. They seem too large for the relatively smaller pour of Port wine.

I like the look of the little guys. I’ve also seen quite short, V shaped glasses. Is that a traditional shape for port?
I find small Duralex Picardie glasses are nice for port, and for scotch. I might be an ignorant boor though.
This is basically what I use.y favorite port glass.
20 year Tawny Fonseca is my favorite bottle.
Small red wine glasses work well for me. Also useful for sherries and liqueurs. I think I searched for dessert wine glasses on the bay. Found a dozen nice used for a song compared to new.
It is exquisite indeed. If you are of an age to do this, wait for a really good vintage and stash as much as you can afford for 25-35 years.
Something like this ...

Pretty sure this is a Riedel Vinum Port glass.
The above glass is 8.33 oz, and a 3 oz pour of Port tops out at the widest portion of the glass as it should.
