Dry and sweet sherry are two distinct types of sherry, a fortified wine from Spain. Dry sherry, such as Fino or Manzanilla, is fermented completely, leaving minimal residual sugar, resulting in a wine with a crisp, nutty, and often saline character. It is typically consumed as an aperitif or paired with food like seafood or tapas. Sweet sherry, on the other hand, includes varieties like Pedro Ximénez or Cream sherry, which are made by either halting fermentation early to retain a higher sugar content or by blending with sweeter wine or grape must. This results in a richer, sweeter flavor profile, making them popular as dessert wines or for sipping. The choice between dry and sweet sherry depends on personal taste preferences and the context in which the sherry is being enjoyed.

Store sherry wine in a cool, dark place with a consistent temperature, ideally between 53-57°F (12-14°C). Keep bottles upright to minimize oxidation, and tightly seal opened bottles, consuming them within a few days for optimal taste.

Sherry wine, a fortified wine from Spain, offers diverse enjoyment options. Savor it as an aperitif, pairing Fino or Manzanilla with olives, nuts, and tapas, or enjoy Amontillado and Oloroso with richer dishes like stews and red meats. For dessert, Pedro Ximénez or Cream Sherry beautifully complements sweet treats like chocolate or blue cheese. Sherry also shines in cocktails; try a Sherry Cobbler or add a splash to a Martini for a twist. Cooking with Sherry can deepen flavors in soups, sauces, and marinades, enhancing dishes with its unique, complex notes.
