Jerez toasts success as City of Wine

JEREZ de la Frontera has beaten eight hundred cities, spanning across nine countries, to be named the 2014 European City of Wine.

The award – by the Network of European Wine Cities in Marsala, Italy – was given to the city because of its quality of wine and efforts to stimulate wine tourism.

Jerez will host a series of events in its famed bodegas to celebrate the honour and increase awareness of its wines and sherries.
