In mid‑July 2026, Taylor's Port introduced a limited‑edition Very, Very Old White Port, a blend incorporating wines aged over 80 years, with components dating back to 1896. Priced at €800 per bottle, the release highlighted the brand’s historic Douro Valley heritage and featured a bespoke crystal decanter.

Later in July, the company announced a new, lighter bottle design that reduces glass weight by about 24 % and cuts annual CO₂ emissions by roughly 210 tonnes. Developed with Portuguese partners, the packaging retains the iconic silhouette while advancing Taylor's sustainability goals.
