When you go to purchase port, tip the bottle over, and have a look to see how 'thick' it is. Syrupy is probably a better word. If you like sweet wine, then you want something fairly thick. If you like it dry but warm, then less syrupy would be my suggestion. If you were in Oz I could name a few reasonably priced but delicious ports. It's probably unlikely you'd get them there though since most of the ones I like are local.
