Sherry
A FORTIFIED wine made in the JEREZ-XÉRÈX-SHERRY Y MANZANILLA DE SANLÚCAR DE BARRAMEDA DO, a designated area located around the town of JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA in southern Spain's Andalusia region. Along with PORT and MADEIRA, sherry is considered one of the three great FORTIFIED wines. Sherries range broadly in color, flavor, and sweetness, but there are fundamentally only two types-fino and oloroso. The difference between these two originates with a peculiar yeast called FLOR and relates to the level of ALCOHOL. Flor develops only on fino-type wines and imparts a sharp, tangy characteristic.
