"There is nothing more exhilarating than a cold glass of dry Manzanilla sherry. It takes every dish in its stride, dousing the vinegar and cutting through the fat. You can get ten good glasses from a bottle, so join the sherry revolution."

"Crisp, dry and tongue-tinglingly salty, I always have a bottle of this in the fridge for summer. Nothing gets the appetite going so well and I love a slurp of it in ice-cold homemade gazpacho. "

"Bone-dry and with the scent of a fresh sea breeze this is essential summer drinking. Serve chilled with salted almonds and slices of ham and drink the whole bottle within a week for the freshest of flavours."
