Sherry is a fortified wine, typically pale straw to deep mahogany in color. Styles range from bone-dry and briny to richly sweet, showing nutty, oxidative notes and a silky glide; cooks deglaze pans with it, enrich sauces, and layer depth into soups and stews, and it is sold in dry (fino, manzanilla, amontillado, oloroso, palo cortado) and sweet (cream, Pedro Ximenez) styles.

It originated around Jerez in Andalusia, Spain, where bodegas age wines and blend them via the solera system. British trade helped spread sherry globally, and it remains central to Andalusian cooking and widely used in European and international cuisines.
