Sherry wine, the denominación de origen. Sherry is perhaps the best known of Spain's wines; it is certainly the most distinctive, instantly recognisable in any of its variations - fino, manzanilla, amontillado, oloroso, palo cortado, or the various kinds of sweet sherry which are rarely encountered in Spain itself. The latter is of no importance, one of the main reasons for the very existence of sherry being that it is made to be transported, including exported, as the fortification that makes it so distinctive acts as a conservant, making it ideal for sea voyages. It has been popular in the English-speaking world for centuries, and many of the names in this site's section on sherry winemakers are British in origin. Note that "sherry" refers not to the type of wine, but to the region around Jerez de la Frontera (the north-west of the province of Cádiz), so Australian or Californian sherry is a contradiction in terms.
