For many wine lovers, the subject of sherry is still a “Spanish village”. Admittedly, the subject matter is somewhat complex and sometimes confusing, even for connoisseurs.

Sherry ranges from dust-dry to very sweet; it shows itself in water-bright to an almost black robe; it is enjoyed from very young to very old and from reductive to oxidative. Falstaff presents the history of this diverse yet distinctive wine category.
