About Sherry Wines - https://www.sherry.wine/
Sherry is a fortified wine exclusively produced within the "Sherry Triangle," which consists of the towns of Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María, and Sanlúcar de Barrameda in the province of Cádiz, southwestern Spain. The role of the Consejo Regulador is to protect the Denomination of Origin (DO) for Jerez-Xeres-Sherry and Manzanilla-Sanlúcar de Barrameda, ensuring that no wine from outside this geographical area can be marketed as Sherry.

The DO Jerez-Xeres-Sherry and Manzanilla-Sanlúcar de Barrameda is the oldest DO in Spain, encompassing 2,800 wine-growers. This region has a long history of winemaking, dating back to Roman times, and Sherry has been exported globally since the 16th century.
