The tradition stems from British naval officers who meticulously passed the port clockwise round the table until it had completed a full circle. The port is placed in front of the host who then serves the guest sitting on the right, the host then passes the port to the person sitting to the left. The port is then passed to the left all the way round the table to end up back in front of the host. It is considered very impolite to ask for the port, instead the host asks the person closest to the bottle or decanter if they know the bishop of Norwich or other village in England. A response is not expected but action to pass the port immediately should take place. Should the unfortunate person answer with ‘No’ the host simply says ‘The bishop is an awfully good fellow, but he never passes the port!’ Tradition also includes that when the port is decanted it should be finished in one sitting, following Christmas traditions such as this will ensure that guests really do have a Very Merry Christmas!
