A Feast of Fortifieds for the Festive Season Verified listing

Which country makes the finest fortified wines in the world? Sherry fans will say Spain, while port fans will shout the praises of Portugal. Regardless of which camp you fall in, both produce fabulous wines. And while there’s nothing wrong with enjoying these delights at any time of the year, they come into their own at Christmas time.

So why not join us for an evening of fortified fun in which we’ll try three wines from each country, including vintage port, Madeira and some top-class sherries. And to show that the Iberians aren’t the only people in the world making great fortified wine, we’ll also sample a heady Muscat from Rutherglen in Australia – a wine best described as Christmas pudding in a glass!

With some Cheddar and Christmas cake as accompaniment, it’s a tasting not to be missed.
