Port tongs were invented in the eighteenth century as a way to cleanly break the neck of old bottles of vintage port whose corks might otherwise break, disintegrate or even get glued to the bottle neck due to port’s sugar content penetrating the cork.

Taylor’s Port Wine Tongs - - Heat the tongs on the stove or with a propane torch. Clasp the tongs around the neck of your Port wine bottle and turn it around, gently, without disturbing the wine. Once the glass is evenly heated, remove the tongs
and pass an ice cube around the glass until you will hear a musical crack. Lift off the top of the neck with
a cloth and carefully decant the wine.
