I loves me some port. Our current favourites are Kopke 20 Year and Dona Matilde Colheita 1991. Mmmm.
While I agree with what you are saying, the issue is the winery in Napa is called Prager Port Works, and the wine is called Aria White Port. It doesn't make it right, but if you are going to be searching for it, that's what it's called.
Sadly, the name is only protected in parts of Europe, where nobody else would probably use it anyways.
