Sherry, dry

Dry sherry is a fortified wine, described here in its dry form. It provides energy mainly from alcohol, with a small amount of carbohydrate and very little protein. Per 100ml, the supplied sample contains 481 kJ of energy, 16g of alcohol and 1.4g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugar.

Alcohol contributes to energy intake even when a drink contains relatively little sugar. The term dry refers to the wine’s sweetness and does not mean it is low in alcohol or energy. Alcohol can also affect judgement and coordination. Sherry is not a substantial source of vitamins or minerals. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
