Jerez Jerez, or Jerez de la Frontera, a city in Andalulcia, south west Spain, that is the center of the sherry industry. Jerez is also the name of the DO which produces sherry. In Spain the wine is known as vino de Jerez (or simply jerez) and sherry in an English corruption of the Spanish word (while in France the town and drink are known respectively as Xérès and xérès.) The town owes its full name to the fact that in the Middle Ages it was on the frontier between Christian and Moorish Spain. – The Oxford Companion to Wine |
