History of Sherry : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of Sherry
The history of Sherry is closely linked with that of Spanish wine production, particularly the political fortunes of the Cádiz region, where it originated with the early Phoenician settlement of the Iberian peninsula. The triangular region between the towns of Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María, and Sanlúcar de Barrameda still marks the limits of the modern ''denominación''. One of the world's oldest wines, its considerable evolution has been marked by the influence of many of the world's greatest empires and civilizations: the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Moors, Spanish and British. Today, while Sherry does not enjoy the level of popularity it once did, it remains one of the wine world's most unusual and historical expressions.〔J. Robinson (ed) ''"The Oxford Companion to Wine"'' Third Edition pg 623-627 Oxford University Press 2006 ISBN 0-19-860990-6〕 ==Early history and Roman times==
The city of Cádiz was first founded sometime between 1104 BC and the 9th century BC as a trading post by the Canaanite tribe of the Phoenicians. The Phoenicians shared in the winemaking traditions of the Ancient Middle East and likely brought grapevines with them as they established their settlement.〔H. Johnson ''Vintage: The Story of Wine'' pg 28 Simon and Schuster 1989 ISBN 0-671-68702-6〕 The Greeks soon followed and brought with them the tradition of making ''arrope'', a dark colored sweet syrup made from unfermented grape juice that could be used to sweeten wine.〔T. Stevenson ''"The Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia"'' pg 312-314 Dorling Kindersley 2005 ISBN 0-7566-1324-8〕 The area was thoroughly entrenched in winemaking by the time the Romans conquered the area in 206 BC after more than three centuries of rule by Carthage. Under the Carthaginians, the work of the early viticulturist Mago was widely followed in the area. The early Roman agriculturalist Columella was a native of Cádiz and was similarly influenced by the area's winemaking tradition. Soon wine from the region was being spread throughout the Roman Empire where it came to be known as ''Ceretanum'' or "wine from Ceret" which was an early name for the Sherry namesake of Jerez. The Roman poet Martial was one of the earliest writers to describe this primitive Sherry, which he said was highly regarded in Roman circles.〔H. Johnson ''Vintage: The Story of Wine'' pg 85, Simon and Schuster 1989 ISBN 0-671-68702-6〕 During the Roman times, the practice of boiling grape must in order to concentrate the sugar as another means of sweetening the wine was starting to become widely used in the area.〔
