"Not quite what it has sometimes been? Carping really, because just short of wonderful is still excellent, but this time round it seemed a little 'thinner'. Still delicious though and excellent value."

I would recommend this wine

"Pale straw coloured. Dry. Tart and refreshing with salt, oak, and lingering acidity. A pleasant aperitif, though thin and lacking depth. But for £7 excellent value. 3* for the sherry 5* for value = 4* overall "

I would recommend this wine

"This wine is consistently fantastic. 7 pounds? For an aperitif that never fails to hit the spot, and you can leave open in the fridge for weeks... "

I would recommend this wine

"This must surely be the best bargain on the Wine Society list; this simply radiates fine-boned, racy, high toned sherry notes infused of salty-sea air with a slightly nutty finish. An absolute perfect match for the leg of Jamon I have at home right now."

"Superb Fino : as good as anything else you can buy including the big branded ones."

I would recommend this wine

"Dry, refreshing, incredibly appetising. Fabulous value. "

"Nice fruity, smooth"

"Awful.....can you have a corked sherry? So bad we couldn’t drink it."

"Bit austere to my taste but clean, fruity, fresh and the best value quaffer/cooker (sorry Wine Society) on the market by miles."

"First time I’ve ordered it. Delicious and great value Wish you could sell half-bottles! "

I would recommend this wine

"I didn't like it at first but it grew on me. A good, ordinary sherry and great value for the price."

I would recommend this wine

"This is the bargain wine of the century! Bone dry, saline, nutty, just as fino should be. No the most complex but perfect chilled on a summer's day"

I would recommend this wine

"this is an excellent fino, with bracing salinity and flor overtones, together with nuttiness, complexity and length that comes with age. This is an extremely fine wine by any standards, and is well suited to pairing with any fish or shellfish dish, or as a refreshing aperitif. If, like me, you love good sherry, you will certainly be very impressed by this wine. For those who think they do not, please try it. You will not be disappointed! It must surely be the best value wine in the list, apart from the fino perdido and oloroso, which are very different,but just as good."

I would recommend this wine

"I'm a relatively recent Fino convert, but this is my favourite of those on offer at the WS (I've tried them all) - and the cheapest. Salty and crisp from the fridge - a lovely savoury aperitif. I also recently tried a glass at room temperature and also v enjoyable as it gathers a little more sweetness! Highly recommended "

I would recommend this wine

"Not sure how the reviews below relate to the bottles we had, the last time the Society's fino was purchased it lived up to its status, this was perfectly drinkable but also very average, obviously a different batch and a below par one, this was no better than other finos available for the same or less elsewhere, the Allegria and Solera where as usual very good. "

"A really delicious sherry with a full, savoury flavour. If you like a light, delicate fino then this is probably not for you. But for me the compexity and length of finish makes this a bargain. I bought this once before, several years ago, and was not impressed. Looking at the other reviews it is possible that there may be quite a bit of variance from one batch to another. Hopefully the quality will stay this high until my next order goes through."

I would recommend this wine

"I saw this reviewed in a Sunday supplement recently which praised it highly, so I had to give it a go. I’ve always turned to Tio Pepe for my fino in the past but decided to add a couple of bottles of this to a recent wine order to try it. I was delighted to find this to be a really smooth and flavoursome dry sherry which is particularly moreish. I love it and am bowled over by the price. I’d be pleased to pay more for this, but I’ll keep that to myself in case the Wine Society put the price up..! Chilling this to quite cold is my preference, and adding a bowl of olives to snack on while enjoying this would be quite delightful. If you like a fino you must try this one."

I would recommend this wine

"Reviews are polarised! At first, I didn't like it , but do persevere: it's an acquired taste, and I've come to think that it's really rather exceptionally worthwhile. It has a lemony, slightly musky tang: unusual, but I like it a lot. I find that it is best within a fairly narrow temperature range: slightly cooler than room temperature, but not overly chilled."

I would recommend this wine

"Terrific value. Delicious, with a proper flor taste reminiscent of the smell of a slightly damp old church."

I would recommend this wine

"A very good everyday sherry. Not complex but very good value for money."

I would recommend this wine

"Much preferred to Tio Pepe which is pretty good anyway. Bit of an acquired taste, probably best after drinking WS Amontillado for sometime and make a change."

"I can only imagine there was a dodgy batch of this doing the rounds a few months ago because those negative reviews bear no relation the bottle I’ve just finished - spanking fresh & delicious with plenty of complexity. A real bargain. "

I would recommend this wine

"Truly astonishing value, no compromise to the taste. How do they do it?"

I would recommend this wine

"After two weeks travelling around Andalucia and having fallen in love with finos, I ordered four bottles of this particular one to accompany a jamon iberico. Compared to the ones I had been drinking in Spain, I found this disappointingly thin, acidic and totally lacking depth or finesse. Relegated to paella dousing! "

"Lovely Smooth fino! "

I would recommend this wine

"Absolutely atrocious! Worst Fino I have ever tasted. Completely incompatible with smoked salmon, crab or Spanish cured ham as suggested and does not relate to the description on the bottle whatsoever. "

"This must be one of the most foul tasting wines I've ever encounced. I like sherry types wines so I know what to expect. This has a nasty bitter taste with a strong hint of sulphide. I just cannot image how I am so out of kilter with other reviews. I rarely send wines back. In this case the 2nd bottle will be returned."

"This is in my opinion far better than Tio Pepe. If people have a vey sweet tooth they may struggle with it. An open bottle kept in the fridge will last well for a quite few days. Do try it and it is great value, but it is dry."

I would recommend this wine

"Extremely good value for money"

"Part of a Christmas case we thought it was horrible had one sip and put the bottle away will use for cooking"

"Yup. We had a couple of bottles of this over Christmas, and then ran out. Had to then buy some Tio Pepe, and this is a completely different league. Amazing value. Toasty, yeasty ready freshness."

"Simple amazing. You'd think it would be hard to make a fino Sherry for £6.25 that competes well with those selling for north of £10, but this is the real deal. It's crisp, dry, complex, long on the finish and extremely satisfying. Best value for money on the market."

"Unfortunately, when we tried this last night, we too decided we would keep it for cooking. It seemed thin and lacking in key flavours. The Tio Pepe we had just finished was in a different league, so there is some inconsistency in the quality of your fino. "

"Incredibly good value Fino £6.25 for a full bottle of joy. Great with olives & nuts as an aperitif & fabulous with jámon bellota as a starter. We were sorry when the bottle ended. Is summer over? Will definitely prolong by ordering this again."

"If you are looking for The Wine Society's best value wine in their stocks in the world ever this is it - £5-95?? How is that possible? P.S please don't raise the price and please don't stop stocking it - I can't think of another wine in the world that delivers the same quality to price ratio - except perhaps the Quinta de Azevedo Vinho Verde!"

"Maybe my palate is not sophisticated enough to appreciate this but it rather reminded me of my own home made wine that I used to make as a teenager. I have also relegated it to cooking duties."

"I have been working my way up and down the Society's really great list of Sherries. Yet I keep coming back to this. It is certainly the most refreshing on offer and has a rather delicate floral nose/taste that is absolutely delicious. And the price is excellent. Well done."

"Remarkable quality, which for its price tag I cannot fault."

"Excellent value - just like the finos I have enjoyed in Andalucia, and goes wonderfully with almonds and olives. The colour is a little disappointing, but that hardly matters as the taste is good."

"An enjoyable Fino sherry. However, the market place seems to be full of great value Fino at the moment. So, while good value for money I think the supermarket own brand 1 litre servings for similar price are even better value."

"Disappointing. Actively disliked it and demoted it to cooking sherry."

"This is true fino at its best! I could imagine standing in the bodega and being given a sample straight from the butt. It has that wonderful fresh yeasty, apple aroma that disappears all too quickly with age."

"Fairly light, in body and aroma, a yeasty savouriness that reminds me of Sake, some citrus fruit with hints of nuts and roasted notes and even a bit smokey (coffee?), with a medium long, savoury, yeasty finish."

"I have been buying this wine for many years. Having now had 2 cases of the new variety I have to say it is not as crisp on the palate as the previous one which I wish could be relisted. I do like the screw closure but would much prefer the old 'classic' style label."

"Unlike some of your other reviewers I've thoroughly enjoyed this sherry. Your previous Society's Fino was good, but this is even better and I am about to order my third consignment!"

"For the price it is excellent value but it is not nearly up to the standard of the previous Society Fino."

"I agree this is a shift in style from the previous maker of the own label fino. It doesn't have quite the same refreshingly sharp edge. I don't mind that, and I enjoy this more accessible bottle. I also agree that this wine is best drunk fresh upon opening. However if you don't manage to see it off in a single sitting the remainder is excellent used in cooking (as a substitute to rice wine or as an additional flavour in stews, sauces and even a large dash in a risotto), and at this bargain price that doesn't seem such a crime."

"My initial reaction to this new Fino was not favourable but I am beginning to appreciate it a little more although I don't think it has a great depth of flavour. Sorry! I tend to be the "I know what I like," type of wine buff. I agree with Andrew Johnson; would you bring back the old Fino please, even if under another label. This is the first time I have had anything but praise for one of the Society's wines. "

Sussex Express 2nd Nov 2020

"My other favourite style is the bone dry Fino, with its unmistakeable, bready, yeasty aroma from the flor – a naturally occurring yeast which grows on the top of the maturing barrels of sherry, imparting a unique flavour and keeping the colour pale. Intensely aromatic and deep flavoured, it is a transformation of the rather ordinary palomino grape variety from which it is made. Fabulous with smoked salmon, anchovies or grilled garlic prawns. The Wine Society has an excellent example from the house of Sánchez Romate at the unbelievably reasonable price of £6.95. - Richard Esling"

Metro 25th Feb 2020

" Anyone seeking a lip-smacking aperitif as we slide into spring, look no further. Fino is the lightest sherry style, produced from palomino grapes, aged under a blanket of yeast called 'flor'. Stay with me. Like sipping a glass of morning sea-air, this bone-dry style rocks with a salted almond pairing. Made for intense chilling, this is a bargain and should be picked up by the barrel-load. - Rob Buckhaven  "

Daily Express 7th Dec 2019

"This award-winning Sherry must be one of the best value around. It's crisp and dry with a satisfying finish. Made by independent producer Sánchez Romate - producing Sherries for more than a century - it is shipped in small quantities to guarantee freshness. Serve chilled with smoked salmon, olives or almonds to bring out its apple-like tones. - Matt Nixson"

Times of Tunbridge Wells 27th Nov 2019

"Fino sherries, made from early ripening, relatively low-acid/high-yielding/large palomino grapes in water-retentive, predominantly limestone-rich, chalky, milky-white 'albariza' soils, are pale-golden, delicate, palate-reviving and bone dry. With a pungent bouquet redolent of green apples, freshly baked sourdough crust, yeast and salted almonds, this arabesque of a Fino tingles with life and spins on the palate with effortless charm. The archetypal aperitif, it's just the ticket for seafood, shellfish, smoked salmon, sashimi, olives and fish and chips. Epic value given that this is 75cl! - James Viner"

The Mail on Sunday 24th Nov 2019

"Best buy for Sherry. - Olly Smith"

The Mail on Sunday 3rd Nov 2019

"Brilliance in a bottle. Serve chilled with green olives. - Olly Smith"

midweekwines.co.uk 14th Aug 2019

"Often the last corner of the wine universe that newcomers fall in love with is sherry – especially versions at the driest end of the spectrum but here is fino with such delightful balance and complexity that it (deservedly) secured an IWC gold medal.
Soft and smooth, The Society’s Fino has apple and dried fruit flavours skilfully integrated into a nutty background that also contains subtle hints of yeast. - Brian Elliott"

The Times 10th Aug 2019

"Sherry still sails under the radar, but tapas bars are attracting a new hipster crowd who drool over the likes of [this wine], a glorious, fresh brown bread of a dry sherry, only £6.95. - Jane MacQuitty"

Liverpool Echo 15th Jun 2019

"… for those of you who love a sherry with all the freshness of apple crispness, then The Society's Fino is a great buy. - Jane Clare"

midweekwines.co.uk 5th Jun 2019

"Another terrific wine that rightfully secured a place on [the International Wine Challenge Great Value] list is a sherry from The Wine Society that will delight even those harbouring a few doubts about sherry. - Brian Elliott"

Times of Tunbridge Wells 24th Apr 2019

"Sherry's one of the greatest wines in the world, and a personal favourite. With green apples spliced with sourdough, iodine and hints of smoke and jasmine, this tangy textbook lowish-acid fino is simply dazzling. Try it with green olives, jamon iberico, salted almonds, Manchego, oysters, exqueixada, paella, tortilla, gazpacho, mezze/tapas, anchovies, fish curry, fritto misto, smoked salmon, sashimi, vinaigrette-laden salads and ratatouille! Refined and appetising, it's built for an Adonis cocktail (a lighter interpretation of the Manhattan). - James Viner"

Manchester Evening News 10th Jun 2017

"One of the best value wines you can buy. - Andy Cronshaw"

Manchester Evening News 5th Nov 2016

"Possibly the best value wine on the planet. This is a fairly full-bodied Fino, with sappy fruit and a saline whiff. It's made by Sanchez Romate in Jerez and is perfect for the dinner table where it will match ham, cheese, fish and many other tapas. - Andy Cronshaw"

Spears Wealth Management 2nd Jan 2016

"Sanchez Romate is one of Spain's oldest wineries and a celebrated producer of exemplary sherries. Its Fino is bang on: bone-dry, with citrus and a touch of nuts and herbs on the finish. Served well-chilled, its vibrant enough to kickstart the most jaded of appetites. A perfect Sherry at a perfect price, and yet another reason to shop at The Wine Society. - Jonathan Ray"

Associated Press 17th Apr 2015

"A classic that always comes tops in tastings… made… by Sanchez Romate, one of the few remaining family-owned bodegas and will have you reaching for a jamon sandwich in no time. Distinct bready aromas, a fresh citrus element and notes of salty almonds make this extremely reviving when the sun comes out. - Sam Wylie Harris"

The Lady 18th Jul 2014

"Not only a bargain but also one of the best finos on the market. It’s very dry and lemony with a certain salty tang which lingers deliciously in the mouth... I always have a bottle of this in the fridge. - Henry Jeffreys"

JancisRobinson.com 24th Jun 2014

"Absolutely classic and delightfully long. Superb. Very very good value. - Jancis Robinson"

Decanter 1st Feb 2014

"5 Stars - Outstanding: Very fino nose, birght clean aromas, lovely almond, citrus and apple tone. Quite complex, rich and in the Jerez style, with a little more alcohol on the finish. - Nick Room"

Decanter 1st Feb 2014

"5 Stars - Outstanding: Fine blend of yeasty freshness with citrus elements on the nose. Palate is dry and tight; develops with a fine richness of flavour. This is a little tarry with an enticing herbal note. Iodine note on finish. - Sarah Jane Evans MW"

Decanter 1st Feb 2014

"5 Stars - Outstanding: Complex, long and multi-layered. Exemplary fino. A great, classic wine. - Pedro Ballesteros Torres MW"

Bite Magazine 1st Jul 2013

"Perfect for anytime, from a civilised sip when the sun's just over the yardarm to some serious food matching… the freshness of green olives and sliced apple with a salty almond savouriness. Great with Iberian ham, manchego and olives as well as sushi, asparagus and smoked fish."

NV VINTAGE - MEMBER REVIEWS

"What great value for money; we keep a bottle in the door of the fridge and it seems to keep well for weeks. We love the classic fino style, it goes well with fish and other lighter foods."

Mr Robert D Clifford-Wing (07-May-2010)

"Have enjoyed this sherry for over 30 years; an excellent aperitif which I find sets up the appetite better than G&T or dry white wine. My only cavil is that I find the plastic capsule around the top very fiddly to open."

Mr Thomas D Farrell (05-May-2010)

"This is one of our staples from our Society and great value for money."

Mr Edward D H Brookfield (16-Nov-2009)

"We thought this a nice clean, dry fino which we enjoy drinking very much. Best drunk chilled."

Mr Edward J Mansfield (22-Aug-2009)

"I believe this sherry offers exceptional value and the quality has been so consistently good that it has now become a regular purchase."

Mr Keith A Johnson (20-Aug-2009)

"Fresh, not overly-dry, so great with food as well as an apéritif. Very good value."

Mr Jake Berger (18-Aug-2009)

"Perhaps not an ideal comment but my wife is so fond of this it is the only sherry we ever buy."

Mr Mervyn Williams (17-Aug-2009)

"I have purchased this for many years now as it is my wife's favourite for home consumption comparing very favourably with the well known brand of the same style. Its dryness is excellent. However, removing the seal using the "tear strip" remains a challenge after all this time."

Mr Kevin Widdick (16-Aug-2009)

"We have been sipping the Society's Fino for more years than I care to remember and have found it to be consistently good and very good value."

Cdr J.A.C. Moulson OBE (16-Aug-2009)

"Been drinking the Society's Fino for 20 years and intend to continue for a good while yet! It is excellent value in comparison with other finos or indeed with the Society's own Claret or Cote du Rhone. Only pity is that the new label lacks distinction and eye appeal."

Mr John R Hennessy (16-Aug-2009)

"The Society's Fino sherry is an ideal aperitif or can be drunk to accompany and enhance food. It has a dry but tangy flavour that lasts in the mouth and leaves a slightly salty after-taste."

Mr James C Bischoff (13-Aug-2009)

"Good nose, with a hint of flor; clear Fino taste, with a long finish."

Dr G J Ross McHardy (13-Aug-2009)

"I/we consider the Society's Fino as the best available for the price. There is only one problem about it and that is that it does not come in litre bottles!"

Dr John Parkinson (11-Aug-2009)

"We have drunk the Society's Fino Sherry for years and guests who ask for Fino sherry are always given it. Knowing several other brands of Fino Sherry we are in no doubt that it is the best, a judgement with which friends concur. There are two points that would make it even more acceptable. First it would be a huge help if there was some means such as a pulloff strip to help in the removal of the metal seal around the cork stopper. Second to be available as Amontillado is in litre bottles. "

John Vaughan (10-Aug-2009)

"I like this Fino - crisp, clear, clean. Best kept in the refrigerator and enjoyed cold. "

Mr Edward J Mansfield (10-Aug-2009)

"Excellent good value for money product to be enjoyed pre-dinner or with any typical Mediterranean starter. At only 15% alc.content it is a fine product. I visited the producer earlier this year and was very impressed."

Alistair G St C Napier (09-Aug-2009)

"After a recent trip to Seville, Cordoba and Granada we rediscovered our taste for Fino sherry and, having sampled all the Wine Society had on offer including the Tio Pepe, the Society's Fino is our firm favourite. I am afraid to say there is always a bottle in the fridge and it is a wonderful drink at the end of the working day. A refreshing taste that is as a good with the meal as before."

Dr M Porcheret (09-Aug-2009)

"Excellent value for a delicious Fino which we have been ordering for many years."

Mr Charles W Reynard (08-Aug-2009)

"The Society's Fino is a delightful, balanced aperitif and we always have a bottle in the cooler for our own use or to share with friends."

Mr Douglas B Parkes (08-Aug-2009)

"Excellent value for money. The obvious comparison with Tio Pepe shows a taste almost as good, just as dry, and an ideal regular aperitif at the price."

Mr R W Thomson (08-Aug-2009)

"For decades I have been a Tio Pepe person. From time to time I buy the Wine Society Fino and although it is very pleasant it lacks that extraordinary 'steeliness' which one finds in Tio Pepe. Sorry about that!"

Mr Thomas C F Whitton (07-Aug-2009)

"I much enjoy your Fino, and can not understand why it has such a poor press. My family think I am really bad drinking sherry and will shortly be under the arches at St Pancras Station! Seriously, it is a great aperitif, both ways, from the fridge, and at room temp. P.S. in my eighty second year I can not handle it, as of yesteryear."

Mr J M G Wright (07-Aug-2009)

"We have been buying this as a staple pre-dinner drink for at least 20 years, and the quality to price ratio never ceases to impress."

Andrew J D Johnson Esq (07-Aug-2009)

"I have enjoyed The Society's Fino for many years and trust that I can continue to do so. It is, perhaps, not quite up to Tio Pepe standard but for the price it's marvellous!"

James Clinch Esq (07-Aug-2009)

"We drink the Fino for preference. It is a wonderful aperitif and much better than any proprietary brand we have found. Our only complaint is that the bottles seem to "evaporate" rather quickly! We find that it is also very acceptable when served to others. Straight from the cupboard or refrigerated, a very welcome start to dinner"

Mr Peter H Rollin (06-Aug-2009)

"A very nice light aperitif to drink straight from the fridge - my wife's regular tipple!"

Dr Richard L Elliott (06-Aug-2009)

"A no nonsense, good value, true fino. An excellent aperitif that can be offered with confidence."

Mr Ford (06-Aug-2009)

"Remarkable value. Excellent as a light aperitif that leaves the palate ready to appreciate the wine and food that its owner hopes will be following!"

L Goulding Esq (06-Aug-2009)

"The wonder of Fino - thank heavens it remains deeply unappreciated. It (and its best buddy Manzanilla) is the best drink, at the best value of any wines and spirits. It is great in Winter as the perfect aperitif. It is even greater in Summer, chilled at any time or on its own. In Andalucia and 38C it's the ONLY drink ! With Bodegas closing down and merging there is a finite amount of production. Should the wider world ever realise what a gem they are missing, prices would inevitably rise sharply. Cheers."

Mr A Stafford Green (06-Aug-2009)

"I am one of those people who has never forsaken sherry! The Society's Fino is of a consistent quality, clean and fresh tasting and excellent value for money. Few people realise what an excellent partner it makes for some foods - should we persuade lots more people to drink it and therefore push the price up or keep quiet and hope it stays as it is - superb value? "

Mr A David Wright (06-Aug-2009)

"Very good value and underrated, as with many sherries. I used to prefer manzanilla but I think the fino has more flavour. It can cope with difficult starters like artichokes and asparagus."

Dr Gavin L Young (06-Aug-2009)

"Excellent, light fino. I have to admit I regard it as a glass of white wine served in decent measure, not a small aperitif. That way it drinks very well on its own or to accompany a light lunch! Good value too, one of the Society's best products in my view."

Mr Thomas R Cole (06-Aug-2009)

"This is an excellent Fino and a worthy replacement for my usual tipple, La Ina. It is light, delicate and benefits from being kept in the fridge and served cold. I thoroughly recommend it to any regular Fino drinkers who do not wish to pay a fortune for something very little better."

Lt Col Thomas Irlam (06-Aug-2009)

"I have sampled most of the dry sherries in the Society's range and I find the in house Fino to be a most palatable wine. I choose it, not because of the very reasonable price, but for its quality. An excellent pre-prandial. "

Mr Peter King (06-Aug-2009)

"Excellent value and much appreciated by family and friends."

Mr G Nicolas M Mellersh (05-Aug-2009)

"I have always been a great fan of The Society's Fino and was pleased to see it back on the shelves in Montreuil."

T J Cocking (05-Aug-2009)

"Delightful Fino, cool, dry and fragrant with that delicious, slightly "silky" taste one gets with the best Finos. Delicious as an aperitif or with shellfish or tapas. Amazing value!"

Mrs Eileen Velarde (05-Aug-2009)

"I have bought, and enjoyed, the Society's Fino several times - and will do so again. Nicely cooled, it is a wonderful aperitif, nutty and stimulating. I have always wished, however, that it came in a 1 litre bottle, like the Society's Amontillado; please consider this."

Mr Alastair Scott (05-Aug-2009)

"Excellent value for money. Our "house" dry sherry. As an aperitif this goes down very well with pre-dinner nibbles - especially garlic-stuffed olives."

Mr Donald E Isles (05-Aug-2009)

"For many years I have enjoyed good sherry at numerous locations; at home I always keep a stock of The Society's Fino and I find that it is very popular with our guests."

Mr Ian O Nichols (05-Aug-2009)

"Very enjoyable Fino. Some time since I've had sherry [how fashions change] but this has tempted me, provided the summer re-emerges, to add Fino to the range of crisp aperitifs. This wine had really good 'sherry' bite and depth. It was clean, straightforward and good value."

Mr A K Dawson (05-Aug-2009)

"The Society's Fino has been a part of my life for over forty years. When I was young I drank it in thimble sized glasses savouring its dry zest on palate. Then I drank it in tumblers 'on the rocks' until I realised that this was to lose it's special nose: better by far to cool it but not chill. Now I think it a wonderful wine to start as an appetite-raising aperitif in a copita and carry on to the dining table. Married to smoked salmon or freshly boiled shellfish and even a smoky chorizo you are just step away from a kind of perfection"

Mr Christopher P E Cook (05-Aug-2009)

"I have bought it for years; you have to pay a lot more to equal it."

N S R Duffin Esq (05-Aug-2009)

"This is an excellent quality dry sherry, extremely good value and always consistent. Strongly recommended!"

Professor C Paris (05-Aug-2009)

"This lovely, crisp refreshing sherry is a terrific everyday treat. It sets the palate up so much better than spirits and is always a revelation when drunk with smoked fish. And under 6 quid a bottle too."

Mr David Burn (05-Aug-2009)

"Some may think it a sacrilege, but I buy this for cooking! For my taste, it's too dry for drinking (unless highly chilled) but I find it excellent in Chinese style cooking, as a substitue for rice wine."

Mr Richard J Lindsell (05-Aug-2009)

"I drink quite a lot of the Society's Fino and find it good value for money."

Mr Howard M Stratford (05-Aug-2009)

"A delicious, bone-dry Fino, much enjoyed and commented on by visitors - I provide it as a pre-lunch aperitif and it is very popular!"

Sam G Dewhurst Esq (05-Aug-2009)

"A pleasing dry and tangy taste. A dry sherry par excellence. Reliably high quality at a competitive price."

Mr John C Churchill (05-Aug-2009)

"A pleasing musty nose with a hint of good retsina, clean sharp taste but disappointingly short aftertaste."

Mr Peter M O'Hare (05-Aug-2009)

"This is real favourite of mine! Drunk as a prepandial palate clearer, as an accompanying glass to smoked salmon and a poached egg..... it fits perfectly. Clear and pale with a real Jerez nose a remarkable buy by the Wine Society. My thanks."

Mr Nicholas K C Whalley (05-Aug-2009)
