For Port? Heavy/rich, after meal, Nice/tasty, Cheese, Portugal, and Christmas were all popular responses.

Sweet, aperitif, and old people/grandma were among the most common descriptors for Sherry. (And if you are a smasher of sherry stereotypes, check out our interview with the author of the upcoming book "Sherry", Talia Baiocchi.)
