Other port-style fortified wines are produced outside Portugalin Argentina, Australia, Canada, France, India, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and the United Statesbut under the European Union Protected Designation of Origin guidelines, only wines from Portugal are allowed to be labelled "port". Region and production Port is produced from grapes grown and processed in the demarcated Douro region. The wine produced is then fortified by the addition of a neutral grape spirit known as aguardente to stop the fermentation, leaving residual sugar in the wine, and to boost the alcohol content. The fortification spirit is sometimes referred to as brandy, but it bears little resemblance to commercial brandies. The wine is then stored and aged, often ...

Tenné
In heraldry, tenné (; sometimes termed tenny or tawny) is a "stain", or non-standard tincture, of orange (in English blazonry), light brown (in French heraldry) or orange- tawny (in continental heraldry) colour. Tenné, however, is not to be confused with ''brunâtre'' ("brownish") of French and German blazons. File:Heraldic Shield Tenné.svg File:Heraldic Shield Brunâtre.svg Tenné is used for the depiction of leather colour, while the much darker brunâtre is used for the depiction of bear hide colour. Etymology In the ''Oxford English Dictionary'', ''tenné'' is described as "orange-brown, as a stain used in blazoning", and as a mid-16th-century variant of Old French ''tané''. The origin of both ''tenné'' and ''tawny'' is the Medieval Latin word ''tannare'', meaning "to tan leather". As such, in French (and most of continental) heraldry, tenné is the light-brownish colour that leather is supposed to have once tanned. Used primarily for depicting wood and skin in ''prop ...
