They say sherry is the new must-have Christmas tipple

Could never see the attraction of sherry myself. I always wanted to, because when I was younger I thought it must be the height of sophistication – to sip daintily at a sherry whilst cooking dinner, or chatting with the neighbours over a plate of mince pies. But they reckon it’s making a huge comeback this year, with M&S already reporting their sherry sales are up by 33 per cent on last year. What with the return of the Sodastream, the lava lamp and the Hostess trolley (yes, there’s a whole new market in them), there’s clearly money in nostalgia!
