Sherry Wine Powder

Sherry wine powder is a dried form of sherry, a fortified wine made in Spain. It is produced by dehydrating sherry wine, often using spray-drying or freeze-drying methods, to create a powder that retains the wine's flavor and aroma.

Manufacturers use sherry wine powder to impart the distinct flavor of sherry to foods without adding liquid. It is commonly found in seasoning mixes, marinades, sauces, and frozen meals, especially those with beef, poultry, or savory flavor profiles.

Sherry wine powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring ingredient. It is not typically associated with adverse health effects at the levels used in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated food ingredients, but specific evaluations for sherry wine powder are not widely published.
