Sherry: Sherry is a fortified wine made in Jerez, Spain, most often from the Palomino grape but also from the Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel varieties. Following fermentation, the wine is fortified with distilled wine spirit, up to the minimum strength of 15.5 percent alcohol. The fortified wine is then usually aged in oak barrels arranged in a solera system of multiple vintages, and which may include more than a hundred vintages of Sherry blended together. Sherries may be classified by their quality, age, sweetness and or alcohol contents into categories which include fino, manzanilla, amontillado, oloroso, cream, etc.
雪利酒:雪利酒是产自于西班牙赫雷斯的加强型葡萄酒。大多数雪莉酒由Palomino(帕洛米诺)葡萄酿制,也可以用Pedro Ximénez和Moscatel葡萄酿制。发酵之后,葡萄酒用蒸馏葡萄酒加强,酒精度最高可达15.5%。加强后葡萄酒通常在橡木桶中陈酿,采用多年份叠桶法进行排列(即solera system,索莱拉体系),这个体系可能包括一百多个年份的混合雪利酒。雪利酒可以根据它们的质量,年份,甜度和/或酒精度进行分类,其中包括fino(菲诺雪莉),manzanilla(曼赞尼亚),amontillado(阿蒙提那多), oloroso(欧洛罗索), cream(奶油雪莉)等。
