Answer:
If by Port you mean the wine from Portugal, and by Madeira you mean the wine from that island, then the differences are
- they come from different places
- they are made from different grapes
- they are made in a different way.
However, in some countries the name Port and Madeira are not protected and winemakers can use them in any way they want, so the names have no meaning and the only differences are what the winemakers chooses.
Port - from Portugal - is a fortified wine. That means that grape brandy is added to stop the fermentation before all the sugar is turned to alcohol, so that you have a sweet wine yet with quite a high alcohol by volume.
Madeira from the island of Madeira is also fortified by the addition of grape brandy fermentation before all the sugar is turned to alcohol, so again you have a sweet wine yet with quite a high alcohol by volume.
What is interesting about Madeira is that the wine is heated at a high temperatureover a long time. This is supposed to duplicate the effect first noticed in the old days when they shipped barrels of wine in wooden sailing ships that took along time to cross the equator. The wine virtually ';cooked' in the barrels, and yet the end result was attractive. Plus the wine is deliberately exposed to air, so it become oxidised (usually the kiss of death to a wine -- and such a wine is said to be madeiriezed).
But all this treatment produces a most drinkable wine that lasts indefinately.
There are different types and styles of both Port and Madeira -- very little is uncomplicated where wine is concerned -- so do ask for more info if you want it, but I think the above gives enough to explain the basic differences.
Port originally was made in Portugal (now it is made anywhere) it is usually a sweet fortified wine (more alcohol is added to the wine)

One of the best Ports I have ever had came from Australia.
Madeira was/is made in the Madeira Islands of Portugal too it is a fortified wine(additional alcohol is added to the wine)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fortified_w...
not much both wines ports and madeira are fortified wines regulary, whisky, vodka or any har rum is added the difference its the way that its fortified, port wines get fortified before the fermentation and madeira After the fermentation.
True Port comes from the Oporto region of Portugal and is a fortified sweet red wine. Madeira comes from Madeira island (Portuguese, off North Africa) and is a fortified white wine similar to Sherry.
Madeira comes in sweet (Malmsy) through to dry varieties just like sherry. However, there is no red Madeira.
Port is always sweet tasting, but white port is also made which is drier and is best served chilled as an aperitif.
