Murkydonna sell cream sherry as does Carrefour, you can buy a flagon of it for about 4 euros and it is very nice.:) oh there is the more expensive stugg for 9 euros a flagon no difference in taste.:)

It's very rare and quite expensive here in Valencia.

Dry sherry is everywhere and quite cheap, but cream is more expensive than Tesco in the UK!!

Last year we found some cheap cream sherry in a Mercadona in Galicia, so stocked up there.

They produce the stuff where you live :eek::eek: in Jerez The Oloroso Sherry I quoted was a case I got from my father for my birthday last year it costs about fifty pounds a bottle if you can get it. I like white wines in the main from France so I ship from Berry brothers in London. They have a sale at the moment. You can get a NV Oloroso of reasonable quality in Jerez for about 12 euros. Why not have a drive out to one of the vineyards and buy direct much cheaper and you get to taste before you buy. :wub::wub:

That's odd that the retailers classify it as WHITE. It isn't even close!
