Dry sherry
An alcoholic wine used for deglazing and adding acidity, aroma and savoury or toasted notes to dishes.
What it offers and why to use it
Fermented or distilled aromas, with acidity, sweetness and notes characteristic of the drink.
From shopping to cooking
Choose
Choose a dry sherry you would enjoy drinking. Check its style, sweetness, alcohol content, sulphites and storage instructions after opening.
Store
Keep closed and away from light and heat. Wine and lower-alcohol drinks lose aroma after opening and may need refrigeration.
Prepare
Add with the pan stable, allow it to evaporate and reduce to concentrate the flavour. Cooking does not guarantee that all alcohol is removed.
How to make the most of it
Good pairings
Depending on the drink, pair with meat, fish, seafood, fruit, chocolate, spices, onions and stocks.
How to substitute it
For an alcohol-free substitute for dry sherry, use stock, grape juice or water with a little vinegar or citrus, adjusting sweetness and acidity.
