Discussion
A fortified wine that originated in the town of Jerez/Xérès (pronounced sherris) in southern Spain, hence the English word sherry. To help Sherry stay stabilized during early ocean voyages, brandy was added to the wine. This is why Sherry is now a fortified (alcohol-added) wine. Sherry is a blended wine of several years, not a single vintage wine. Sherry is usually considered an aperitif. There are dry sherries that can be served chilled, and sweet sherries for room temperature.
Cooking Sherry has added preservatives (salt) to increase it's shelf-life and is not suitable for drinking.
