Sherry? Summer drink?

OK, maybe nothing beats an ice cold lager to help cool you down during our long hot summers. I’m not sure where this years long hot summer has gone, oh well!

But Tio Pepe should be a candidate for best summer drink.

Chilled, you should treat Tio Pepe as a dry white wine. At 15 percent alcohol it’s strong enough and is complimented by the nutty and yeasty aromas and flavors that derive from the aging of the wine rather than from any primary fruit character. 

It has a distinctive, clean aroma and is bone dry with a savoury character. It is this that makes it a perfect accompaniment to summer barbeques.

It also matches well with spicy food, anything with strong flavours, such as steak, fish and seafood and snacky-foods like nuts and crisps. Tapas and Tio Pepe is a match made in heaven.

If you are looking for something a little bit different, Tio Pepe ticks that box too. Imagine turning up to your mates bbq with a bottle of sherry! It will not be long before this becomes the drink of choice within your social circle.

Tio Pepe is widely available from £8.99 from all major retailers and most independent wine merchants.
