Sherry, sweet

Sweet sherry is a fortified wine, described here in its sweet form as a drink. It provides energy mainly from alcohol and sugars, with little protein and no fat. Per 100ml, it contains 568 kJ of energy, 16g of alcohol and 6.9g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugar.

Alcohol contributes to total energy intake but is not an essential nutrient. Both its alcohol and sugar content are relevant when considering energy intake, while the sugar content may also be relevant for people monitoring carbohydrate intake. The absence of fat does not mean the drink is low in energy. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
