I've just discovered Sherry...

...after having to buy a bottle for a recipe I'm making.

I've only ever seen it being drank by Emily Bishop on Coronation Street years ago. I poured myself a small glass to try, and it's bloody lovely.

Does anyone else like a Sherry? This is a basic Tesco one, I'm guessing the more expensive ones are even nicer?

I hate it, but my husband always has a glass of PX when he’s cooking. He’d secretly prefer Harvey’s Bristol Cream but that’s just a bit too old lady.

I love a sherry

Is Harvey's Bristol Cream creamy like Baileys then?

Not creamy but I think it’s very sweet.

It's lovely, can creep up on you though!

Croft original
Beautiful

Absolutely! Better when you go to Portugal and drink the real stuff but I often have a glass of sherry here. Also reminds me of my late grandmother, she used to drink sherry as though it were water, despite otherwise being very proper.

I secretly love Harvey's Bristol cream. Makes the best truffles with my granny's old recipe and then have an excuse to drink rest of bottle. Morrison's own brand is close to as good. Asda's tastes like I imagine pure methylated spirits does.

Look for a Pedro Ximinex, Co-op have a decent one on offer at the moment and the Sainsburys Taste the Difference one is excellent, like Christmas cake in a glass!

Is it meant to go in the fridge? I'm drinking it at room temperature right now.

I discovered both sherry and port earlier this year. I have nice fancy crystal glasses especially for my old lady tipple.

The English whisky company make sherry in the old whisky barrels.

It's so good

Love sherry, especially Pedro Ximinez

It's very Frasier and Niles Crane

I like sherry but people do associate it with old ladies

Yum I love a glass of sherry or port with some nuts or cheese and crackers, it’s so Christmassy

Mmmm. Sherry. Delicious.

It's personal preference. I've always preferred my sherry served at room temperature.

... and I've enjoyed it since I was a teenager (I'm now mid thirties), delicious stuff, doesn't matter if some people think it's old fashioned!

No it doesn't go in the fridge, just in the cupboard or wherever.

I love it too.... I used to have one small glass every Sunday evening when I was at uni. Still have it now at times, am missing it as currently pregnant. I also love Port.

Pour in a tumbler with some ice

It's our winter aperitif

Be careful though - it's lethal if you have too much!

I love sherry. I put it in the fridge. There's so many kinds too; you need to do a copita where there's a wee snack with it!

My Christmas Day doesn't start properly until I've had my 11am sherry! Yum. Don't drink it much the rest of the year, but sometimes only a sherry will do. Cheers.

Yes, I discovered Port a few years ago.
Despite everyone and their dog telling me I would get gout, I haven't yet, and it is delicious 😁

I have a soft spot for sherry.

My Dad had one in the evening in winter (room temperature, obvs) when he got home from work while reading the newspaper. He’d have a G&T in summer.

Do you have a special glass for it as well? My grandparents were big sherry drinkers, from a pull down door drinks cabinet with dusty glasses.
