I bet landy or rangy bumpers would fit with a bit of judicious angle grindering and welding!
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

Try your local MachineMart store, gt myself a towstrap from them, not the toughest but sufficient for my possible needs (getting neighbours moving!)

Or try their online store
