Sherry at the 1958 World Business Fair


Back in 1958, Sherry had its own stand at the World Business Fair in the USA. The Coliseum in New York hosted the pavilions of many countries in this important business “shop window” attended by 750,000 people. Visitors to the Sherry stand were welcomed by three pretty “Sherry Queens” who symbolised three of the most important types of Sherry, namely Fino, Oloroso and Amontillado. It had already been pointed out in pamphlets that real Sherry comes only from Spain.
