Good Food tried to tart up its image in this month's mag.

Love sherry!
Used to drinks it as a student because the Spar had bottles for about £1.50.
Ahh, happy days!

RubySlippers · 08/10/2008 20:33

is it super dry Fino or soemthing emily from Coronation street would sup on?!

babyOcho · 08/10/2008 20:33

I love sherry... and port, and desert wine.

And red wine, white wine, vodka, tequila, G&T... oh dear

AMumInScotland · 08/10/2008 20:33

I love sherry! (but I suppose I'm old....)

FabioCanHaveMysoul · 08/10/2008 20:33

Depends if it's all you have in the house! I'm drinking mediocre whisky because it's all that's left

FabioHasNineAndAHalfLives · 08/10/2008 20:34

fino sherry yum

then again I like madeira as well

VineGARISHtits · 08/10/2008 20:35

FabioHasNineAndAHalfLives · 08/10/2008 20:41

well cream sherry is narsty

get the decent stuff

Mozzas own brand fino is not bad

this is lush

PortofinoPumpkin · 08/10/2008 20:41

I love sherry - fino (obviously) and my favourite is Manzanilla. Goes very well with seafood - or tapas in general. It needs to be ice cold though. That Harveys Bristol Cream stuff is just shite though.

Habbibu · 08/10/2008 20:43

I tried very good sherry, served properly, in Andalucia. I really wanted to like it, but found it quite - resiny? - maybe? Is it an acquired taste?

Hulababy · 08/10/2008 20:48

A chilled dry sherry can be lovely. We usually hae a bottled in the fridge, ready for a small tipple every so often. Not had some in for a bit; this has reminded me to get some again.

SoMuchToBits · 08/10/2008 20:48

I have a couple of friends (in their 40s, so not that old) who like sherry. I'm not fussed myself, would rather have wine. But it's not unreasonable to like it. I do think a good amontillado or fino would be better than a cream, though!

MOrticiaAdams · 08/10/2008 20:49

Happy to be an odd bint and sherry drinker! Wonderful stuff! There's nothing like a small skooner, whilst pealing veg on Christmas morning either!

minorbirdOnElmstreet · 08/10/2008 20:50

Hell no! Sherrys my tipple! Although my mates call me Dot Cotton and nowhere serves it! Apart from posh places that do desert wines. Ooo I'm craving it now but on a diet... so maybe you are being unreasonable for reminding me of it...

themoon666 · 08/10/2008 20:50

Sherry is a good drink for cold evenings. Any time of alcohol is a good drink for any temperature evening come to think of it

Kbear · 08/10/2008 20:50

love it, glug glug glug

TillyScoutsmum · 08/10/2008 20:51

oooh - I love sherry ....makes me feel all christmassy (and I'm not an old bint either)

OrmIrian · 08/10/2008 20:52

Quite like too. It tastes of Christmas.

gigglewitch · 08/10/2008 20:52

i like it too.

All you people who think you have to be old to drink it, well my Mum drinks it, and she's only...

Ah, well actually she's 88, but she doesn't seem that old.
