Fortified wines such as liqueur wine, port, and sherry belong to the category of strengthened wines, whose production traditions date back centuries. As the name suggests, these wines are enriched with stronger alcohol—usually brandy—during the fermentation process. Historically, this was done to extend the wine’s shelf life, while also achieving a richer flavor.

Fortified wines come in many variations, each with its unique nuances—luxurious and sweet Portuguese ports, drier and nuttier Spanish sherries, aromatic vermouths, and a variety of liqueur wines.
Port and sherry are often associated with Christmas, but in reality, they pair wonderfully with a wide range of dishes, from aged cheeses and hearty stews to dark chocolate and desserts. They are also excellent as aperitifs or for an evening of relaxation. With their long history and masterful production, fortified wines also make an ideal gift.
