Nice to know sales are growing in the UK.

I would say it's not very popular on the Costa Blanca but I know down south it is quaffed everywhere...

Hola

If "down south" you mean the Sherry triangle of the Cádiz region, then yes an ice cold Fino on a hot day is wonderful. In the winter then the sweeter sherries are drunk but after a meal, then for me it's Pedro Ximenez - just the one to round off the meal

Compared to here up north where it's hardly sold at all. But that's what makes Spain great, its diverse regions with their own authentic cultures.

In the '70s I worked for Harvey's in Bristol.

Back then the scale of the operation was huge - a bulk carrier plying continuously between Jerez and the UK south coast, a fleet of road tankers between there and Bristol, a tank farm the size of an oil refinery and at that time the fastest bottling lines in the UK.

Now - nothing.

Could not agree more.

Here (Alicante) a typical bar breakfast is toast with tomato (served with the tomato flesh on the toast) I asked for it in PIcos de Europa, received an odd look from the waitress and was served toast with a whole tomato cut into quarters! Oh well, travel broadens the mind even within Spain.

I'm partial to a glass of Sherry or Port, they go so well with various foods and IMO are overlooked these days :( Sherry and Gin make a mean 'Martini'
