Limited Edition 80th Anniversary VE Day Port
To commemorate the heroic actions of the UK and indeed all Allied forces involved in the Second World War we have commissioned this numbered Limited Edition Fonseca Port VE Day Port.
Only 80 will be produced and each bottle will be numbered. As you can imagine, people will always want a specific number, if we can accommodate that we will, but is by no means guaranteed. We have added a text box below for you to add your preferred number, please just list order of preference, ie 15, 63, 24 etc.
If these numbers have already been sold, you will receive the next available number, please appreciate that the obvious numbers will have gone really quickly 🙁
But alas, you will still have a limited bottle and one of the 80.
We will be donating bottle 01, 44 and 80 to charity events so that they can be auctioned off for charities
About the Limited Edition VE Day Port
This Limited Edition VE Day Port has been specially commissioned to mark eighty years since Victory in Europe Day — the momentous occasion on 8th May 1945 when Nazi Germany’s unconditional surrender was announced and celebrated across the UK and Europe. Crafted by the renowned Fonseca Port house, this VE Day Port is a fitting tribute to all those who gave so much during the Second World War. With only 80 bottles produced in total, it is as exclusive as the occasion it commemorates, making it a truly rare piece of history you can hold in your hands.
Why Fonseca Port?

Pairing the Fonseca name with the profound historical significance of VE Day produces a bottle that is not only a pleasure to drink but a genuine collector’s piece of the highest order. Whether displayed proudly in a cabinet, gifted to a veteran’s family, or opened on a milestone anniversary, this VE Day Port will make a lasting impression on all who receive it and remind them of the courage and sacrifice that secured our freedoms.
A Numbered Collector’s Piece
Every bottle of this VE Day Port is individually numbered from 01 to 80, making each one entirely unique. When placing your order, please use the text field at checkout to list your preferred bottle numbers in order of preference — for example, 08 for the 8th of May, 45 for 1945, or simply 01 and 80 for the very first and last in the series. We will do our very best to fulfil your request, though numbers are allocated on a strict first-come, first-served basis.

About This Limited Edition 80th Anniversary VE Day Port
The 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day is one of the defining commemorative occasions of our lifetime. VE Day — 8th May 1945 — marked the formal end of the Second World War in Europe, bringing to a close six years of extraordinary sacrifice, courage, and determination by millions of men and women across Britain and the Allied nations. To mark this milestone, we are proud to offer this exclusive limited edition VE Day port — a premium fortified wine selected specifically to honour the memory of those who made that victory possible.
This commemorative VE Day port is a genuine collector’s piece. Produced in strictly limited quantities to reflect the singular nature of the 80th anniversary, it combines outstanding quality with deep historical significance. Whether you are purchasing this port as a personal memento, a collector’s addition, or a gift for someone with a passion for British military history, it is an item that carries genuine meaning and lasting appeal.
Why Port for the 80th Anniversary of VE Day?
Port wine and British tradition have been intertwined for centuries. From the wardrooms of Royal Navy ships to the mess tables of the Army and RAF, port has been the classic drink for toasts, celebrations, and formal dinners. When VE Day was declared in May 1945 and celebrations swept across Britain, the raising of glasses — including glasses of port — was a central part of how the nation marked its relief and joy.
Choosing a premium port to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day is therefore entirely fitting. Port keeps exceptionally well in a sealed bottle, making it ideal as both a long-term display piece and a drink that can be opened and enjoyed on a significant future occasion. This VE Day port can be kept for years — even decades — and remains the perfect tribute whenever the moment to open it arrives.
A Strictly Limited Commemorative Edition
This limited edition VE Day port has been produced in a strictly controlled quantity. Once this stock is sold, no further bottles will be produced. This commitment to genuine scarcity is what gives the edition its real collectible value — each bottle is a piece of history in a way that a mass-produced product simply cannot be.
If you are considering this port as a gift, a collector’s piece, or a way of personally marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we encourage you to order without delay. Previous commemorative limited edition spirits and wines have consistently sold out ahead of the anniversaries they mark, and we expect this VE Day port to be no different.
The 80th anniversary of VE Day will not come again. For anyone who wants to mark it with something of genuine quality and lasting significance, this limited edition port represents exactly that opportunity.
The Perfect VE Day Anniversary Gift
A limited edition commemorative port of this calibre makes an outstanding gift for a wide range of people and occasions. Veterans and their families will find it a moving and thoughtful tribute to those who served during the Second World War. History enthusiasts will prize it as a collectible tied to one of the most significant dates in modern British history. Port collectors will value the rarity of the edition and the quality of the fortified wine it contains.
This VE Day port is equally well suited to corporate and formal gifting. If your organisation has a connection to the armed forces or a tradition of marking significant anniversaries, a limited edition port of this quality is a gift that recipients will genuinely remember. It arrives in presentation packaging that makes an immediate impression, and the historical significance of the VE Day connection gives it a depth that a generic gift cannot match.
