The two methods are not really comparable, because each is used for different wine varietals.

How long does a un opened bottle of port last?
Depending on whether you want to know about a tawny Port or a ruby Port, it can last anywhere from a week to a month after opening. Ports are made in two main styles: wood-aged or bottle-aged. Wood aged Ports are drinkable once they hit the store and last for about a month once opened. Bottle-aged Ports have a longer aging time before they are marketable and once they are opened only last about a week. Ruby Port is both bottle-aged and wood-aged and tawny Port is wood-aged only so a ruby Port would last only a week once opened and a tawny Port would last about a month.

How long can you keep a bottle of unopened port?
Ruby Port is aged in wood barrels for two years before spending a lengthy time aging in bottles, where it doesn't have contact with any oxygen. This is called aging reductively. And it makes ruby Port very susceptible to oxygenation once opened, meaning it turns faster than a tawny Port which is only wood-aged and has some exposure to oxygen while aging as oxygen seeps into the wood barrels. As a result the ruby Port, once opened for drinking, only lasts about a week.
How do you taste wine?
There are many things you should look for when tasting wine: In a nutshell, first, the color, once poured into the wine glass. A rich red that stains the glass when the wine is swirled lightly indicates a full-bodied wine, for example. The same goes for a white wine. Chardonnays that are deep yellow let's say, tend to be more full-bodied or stronger in flavor than those that are lighter in color. Next is the bouquet or aroma. Most wines include more ingredients than just grapes and alcohol. Some wines have a fruity scent; in others, one can smell a hint of oak, if they were aged in oak wood barrels. Some wines are flavored with or have notes of berries or herbs. Wine connoiseurs are able to distinguish and classify the wine's components. They might say that the Cabernet in question is full-bodied and rich in ruby hues, has a deep blackberry bouquet with notes of peach and a hint of licorice or vanilla (in this respect the components of a wine can be similar to those of a perfume!) Some people smell the cork of a freshly opened bottle of wine as a sign that they are experts in wine tasting; it's a pompous ceremonial, has little if nothing to do with the wine itself and is only intended to impress those who do not know! However, you should check the cork to assure that it is not dry or moldy, which is not a very good sign, for the cork could have chipped of and fallen into the wine (that is why bottled wine should be stored in a horizontal or tilted downward position to prevent this from occurring). Recent trends are that many wineries here and in Europe are using plastic corks more and more. The aroma is confirmed by the taste. Each wine should be served/consumed at its proper temperature. This is very important! Many people believe that one should drink red wine at room temperature. While this may be a question of taste/preference, the truth is that room temperature referred to the temperature of the cave or cellar where the wine was stored, not the room temperature of your kitchen or dining room! That is why your typical red wines should be served at 50 degrees Farengheit; the whites, between 35 and 40 degrees, depending: bubblies at 32. (I chill my reds in the fridge and remove about 15 mins. before uncorking/serving). When strictly tasting wine, the liquid must be sifted in between the teeth (yes, it's ok to make a rude noise!), gently swirled inside the cheek, and spit out immediately. The palate should indicate the temperature of the wine, the strength, acidic content, and texture: is it smooth or does it bite the lips, tounge, palate or throat upon contact? Is it a fruity or dry wine? Are the peach notes overwhelming or complimentary? Does it have an aftertaste? One should cleanse the palate between wines with water. Older wines are expected to have a certain degree of sediment;this is visible in the wine glass and does not influence the wine significantly. Remember, wines are made to be sipped, not guzzled or chugged. They can turn into vinegar if stored improperly or for too long after opening. Lastly, they say that the best wine is the one YOU like. While some people prefer lighter tasting wines like the Pinots, Chablis or Reislings in the whites and the Merlots, Tempranillos, and Beaujolais in the reds, others fancy heartier ones, such as oak aged Chardonnays in the whites and full-bodied Syrahs in the reds. One thing for sure, nowadays in the U.S. there are many wines for many budgets. You do not have to spend a bundle to get a decent bottle of wine. So experiment and see what you like. When I go wine tasting, I enjoy eating something that goes with that wine to fully appreciate it. Most vintners should know what wine goes with what. What you will be serving the wine with should be paramount in your wine purchase decision. Most wines, although lower in alcohol, can still make you drunk, so moderation is always important to be able to really enjoy a nice glass of wine. Hope this information has been helpful. Cheers!
