Is sherry on your festive list? We asked an expert for her verdict on a range of tipples
We tell you which one has the best taste, best value and our overall winner
SHERRY was seen as a tipple only your Gran enjoyed – until now.
Earlier this year wine merchant Majestic revealed hipsters sent sales of the drink soaring by 46 per cent. And on that form, we're predicting an even stronger surge than usual for the coming festive period.
Here, expert Victoria Burt from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust, gives COURTNEY BARTLETT her verdict on a range of tipples.
- 4.5/5
DESCRIPTION: Refreshing and distinctive – perfect with savoury nibbles or pork.
VICTORIA SAYS: “Tio Pepe is a well-known brand. It’s the Ford of Fino sherry – perfectly reliable and a make you can trust.
“This has a textbook taste, it’s got a slight nutty flavour and notes of apple skin.
“Gentle, mellow and restrained – you really cannot go wrong with this brand.”
