Difference between Jeripigo and Port and Sherry?

Answer 1

Jeripigo is a style rather than a particular grape variety, although many jeripigo wines are made with muscat. The "wines" are actually unfermented and the sweet grape must is fortified with wine spirit. The result is a very sweet, fresh fruity drink with alcohol backing. Sherry is fermented dry and manipulated thereafter to make and style and colour that is required. Port is fortified whilst there is still plenty of sugar left in the wine. The fortification stops the fermentation and you have a sweet, fruity , alcoholic wine that can be made into whatever stlye is required.
