Alcohol, Sherry

Sherry is a fortified wine made from the fermentation of grapes. Since it is fortified with a grape spirit (brandy), it has a higher alcoholic content than table wine.

There are many different kinds of Sherry, ranging from very dry to very sweet, all from various regions in Spain.

Some research shows that sherries produced from the palomino grape contain polyphenols that help lower bad cholesterol and protect against coronary artery disease.

Since sherry is so diverse, it pairs well with many foods and is popular in cooking as a glaze or sauce.
