Absolutely. I use the difference in capitalization to differentiate Port from
port (whether CA, WA, OZ, or wherever that port-style wines are produced).

If one is looking for Port (that wonderful Oporto liquid), then accidently
picking up one for CA, or where ever else it is produced, would be a mistake.
However, that said, there are many good port-style wines produced outside of
Oporto. The buyer just needs to know that it WILL be different, though may be
quite good.
