Answers:
Serve white ports chilled (the dryer the port the cooler)
Ruby ports should always be served at room temp. Rubies are best after main courses with cheese and desert.

Tawny ports are also served at room temp.

NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!! Although on a hot day regular ruby port might be just slightly chilled.

most reds should be served only very slightly chilled or at room temp.

no, room temp

It should be brought to room temperature. About 15 degrees C.
This come from the days when they were stored in underground wine cellars.
They were brought out early to come to temperature and before service they were opened and allowed to breathe before being decanted into a decanter.
