Revival of sherry: Will sherry become just as popular as the Dutch genever or gin?

26-5-2016

Last Monday the Dutch sherry campaign was presented in ‘De Rotterdamse Markthal’. Importers, retailers, restaurant owners, sommeliers and trainers were all invited.

You will find many tips at the platform but also ‘create your own Shapa’, ‘create cocktails with sherry’ or ‘create a dish with sherry’.
