This Christmas Britain’s favourite sherry, Harveys, turns 220 years young.

A traditional drink that has been enjoyed by generations for centuries, Harveys was also awarded Best Wine in the World by International Wine Challenge, the first Spanish wine ever to receive this award.

Its popularity continues to grow and with its proven global iconic status, it’s no surprise then that bartenders have embraced sherry too. Some of the best mixologists in the country love sherry for its taste profile and versatility in cocktails. Their modern take on classic ways to enjoy sherry has contributed to a rise in new sherry drinkers, particularly in the capital.
