How the clue works
Right, so port? is the definition here — that question mark is a hint that port is just one example of a dessert wine, not the whole story. For the wordplay, take DESERT (meaning leave or abandon), and stick S (sailors, originally - just the first letter) inside it to get DESSERT. Then WINE is a homophone of "whine", which is your loudly complain bit - stick them together and you're there.
