Sherry (English /ˈʃɛri/, Spanish: Jerez [xeˈɾeθ] or [xeˈɾes]) is a fortified wine made from white grapes that are grown near the town of Jerez (Jerez de la Frontera), Spain.
The word "Sherry" is an anglicization of Xeres (Jerez). In earlier times, Sherry was known as sack (from the Spanish saca, meaning "extraction" [from the solera]). In Europe, "Sherry" is a protected designation of origin; in Spanish law, all wine labeled as "Sherry" must legally come from the Sherry Triangle, which is an area in the province of Cádiz between Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and El Puerto de Santa María. In 1933 the Jerez Denominación de Origen was the first Spanish denominación to be officially recognized in this way, officially named D.O. Jerez-Xeres-Sherry and sharing the same governing council as D.O. Manzanilla Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
After fermentation is complete, Sherry is fortified with wine alcohol in order to slightly raise its final alcoholic content. The level of alcohol in the base wines is increased by mixing wine and alcohol ("half and half") until the correct alcoholic strength is acquired. After fermentation the base wine naturally reaches an alcoholic strength of between 11 and 12.5 percent by volume.
