WINE PAIRING:

Fortified Wine

Fortified wines became the wine of the day because they were extremely resilient on long sea journeys. What’s interesting about all of this is that production techniques for making fortified wines haven’t really changed since they were perfected in the 1700s. So, when you drink classic fortified wines today, they reflect what wines tasted like 300 years ago–that’s about as close to drinking history as you can get. Despite the incredible history surrounding the fortified wines of Europe, they’ve fallen out of favor. On the plus side, it means you can find exceptional quality at a great value price. Here are several fine fortified wines that can be found for less than $20 a bottle.

Moscatel de Setúbal
Muscat of Samos
Rasteau Vin Doux Naturel
Amontillado Sherry
Madeira
- Dry (Seco), Medium-Dry (Meio Seco), Medium-Sweet (Meio Doce), Sweet (Doce)
