sherris

Sherry is also produced in other districts, but takes its name, formerly written in English as sherris or xeres, from Jerz.

The cider which he drank was brewed by my mother from her own apples; to him it was as good as if it had been Sherris or Rhenish.

Falstaff calls it sherris sack (sherry sack), from Xeres, a sea town of Corduba, where that kind of sack (wine) is made.

But the sherris warms it, and makes its course from the inwards to the parts extreme.
