Jerez, Spain.
Sherry is a fortified wine, made in and around the town of Jerez, Spain. Hence in Spanish it is called "Vino de Jerez;" in fact, the word "sherry" is an Anglicized version of the town's name. According to Spanish law,[1] Sherry must come from the small triangular area of the province of Cádiz between Jerez, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and El Puerto de Santa María. In earlier times Sherry was known as sack (a rendering of the Spanish saca, meaning a removal from the solera), or more fully as Sherris sack. Sherry differs from other wines because of how it is treated after fermentation. After fermentation is complete, it is fortified with brandy. Because the fortification takes place after fermentation, all natural sherries are dry; any sweetness is applied later. In contrast, port wine is fortified halfway through fermentation, stopping fermentation so not all the sugars are allowed to turn into alcohol and so leaving a sweet wine.

If you mean the city of Jerez in Spain, it is the place where sherry wine originated. 'Sherry' is the English way of pronouncing Jerez. This question should not be merged with 'first alcoholic drink--beer'.
Sherry is a fortified wine made in the area around Jerez de la Frontera. "Fortified" means that pure alchol is added to the wine. The wine is aged in "Bodegas", literally warehouses, that are special. They have dirt floors and little sunlight. The barrels are placed in long rows several barrels high. The wine to be bottled is removed from the bottom row of barrels. It is replaced by a like amount removed from the next row above. The process is repeated until the top row is partially empty. The top row is then filled with new wine from the current "Cosecha" or the newest crop. In this way the wines from succeeding crops is blended with the older wine. The result is that the wine that is bottled for sale tastes exactly as the wine bottled in prior years. So "Sherry" is a fortified wine that is blended and always tastes the same. THe Spanish call this product "Vino de Jerez". Even though it may be made in other towns in the area, if they follow this process it is "Vino de Jerez."
