    In Episode 6, we step into medieval Spain and the long Reconquista, exploring how the return of Christian rule reshaped wine production in Jerez and reconnected the region to northern European trade. We trace the moment when Sherry entered the English language as “Sherris-sack” — a fortified wine prized in Tudor England, celebrated by Shakespeare, and shipped in vast quantities to London taverns and royal courts. This episode shows how war, religion, and commerce combined to turn a local Andalusian wine into an international obsession.
