Enige minpunt: je kreeg de uren door van de boot en tussen welke uren je bij de portoproeverij kon gaan, maar wanneer we daar kwamen in de late middag, bleek dat je moest reserveren voor je bezoek. We konden dan nog wel reserveren voor die dag, maar konden daardoor de boottocht niet meer doen. Best dus 's morgens al je proeverij vastleggen.”
