Fortified wines are wines that have been strengthened with neutral spirit during or after the fermentation process. Historically it was done to stabilize the wine or to add to its body and structure. Nowadays, there are several very distinctive fortified wine styles, and due to their specific ageing processes, they have become a unique style of their own. In this video I will discuss different fortified wines and how they are made, as well as why RIGHT NOW it is a great time to be paying more attention to these wines.

Thanks from Vancouver BC
fortified wine is sherry thats been made outside the sherry triangle , its just as good as sherry and most fortified wine comes from outside the EU so if you have a choice buy the drinks labled "fortified wine" rather than the bottle labled "sherry".
Couldn't you take a magnum bottle and cook the wine out of half of it and pour it back into the other half and have a fortified wine made there of itself?
Hello Agnes! Love your videos. Fortified wines and wine-based aperitifs like Dubonnet and Lillet are among my favorites. I read recently that ruby ports are not meant to be aged but tawny ports are. In general what types of port are good for cellaring? Thank you and cheers from the US! 🍷
I notice there is no diamond on your hand in this vid, but there is in later vids. Engaged, or even married now?
I am going to try this after coffee next time I go to the market. I was looking to find "buckfast" in the U.S.A. but I doubt it. The buckeye tree is the state tree in my state of Ohio and there are like 5 grown buckeye trees ready to spring this season. :p
Thank you , great content topic.
