Thunderbird Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I was leafing through a Spanish tapas recipe book written by that Tapas Revolution guy (Omar Allibhoy) who was on the TV. Some very nice recipes in it by the way. Anyway, in the book he claims that Sherry doesn't go off after it's opened, with the exception of Fino. I usually keep sherry in the fridge after opening, and to be honest the bottle rarely makes it beyond the week anyway! Mind you it would be nice to have a few on the go knowing that one could keep them for months on end rather than slurping them up quickly. And free up fridge space. How long do you keep yours?

kyska Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Gordon, I use sherry for cooking, not so much for drinking, but when needs must I've used months old fortified wine to top up, it's always been good. I don't put it in the fridge. It does surprise me, the sugar content should be a breeding ground for bacteria, maybe the alcohol content is enough to keep it sound.

Thunderbird Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Hi Gord I think it's touch and go. I've got a bottle of Madeira on the go at the moment and that's 19% vol so a touch stronger than most sherries. Anyway I'll report back in a few months if I'm still alive.
