Sherry in Culture
There are many literary figures who wrote about Sherry: William Shakespeare, Benito Pérez Galdós, Alexander Fleming and Edgar Allan Poe (in his story "The Cask of Amontillado").
Some images are also part of Spanish tradition, like the shape of the Toro de Osborne, or the bottle of Tío Pepe.
In the Walt Disney movie Mary Poppins, Mr. Banks enjoys a Sherry every evening alongside his pipe at precisely 6:02 p.m.
On the popular sitcom Frasier, the show's namesake character and his brother Niles are often seen drinking Sherry. This became so iconic to the series and the relationship of the two brothers that it was used as a metaphor to mark the end of the series. When Sherry ran out in the last episodes, it became clear that the way of life in the eleven year series was about to come to an end.
In the popular Japanese manga and anime series Detective Conan, the codename for one of the protagonists, Shiho Miyano or Ai Haibara, is Sherry.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“Unthinking people will often try to teach you how to do the things which you can do better than you can be taught to do them. If you are sure of all this, you can start to add to your value as a mother by learning the things that can be taught, for the best of our civilization and culture offers much that is of value, if you can take it without loss of what comes to you naturally.”
—D.W. Winnicott (20th century)
