    • Episode 11:Rumasa: Empire, Corruption & Collapse

      Episode 11:Rumasa: Empire, Corruption & Collapse
      Jan 19 2026

      A dark and dramatic chapter in the Sherry story.

      In this episode, Christopher explores the rise and fall of Rumasa, the vast Spanish conglomerate that took control of much of Jerez’s wine industry in the 1960s and 70s — only to collapse spectacularly when the Spanish government seized over 700 companies overnight in 1983.

      From industrialisation and reckless growth to economic ruin and cultural damage, this episode shows how Rumasa nearly destroyed Sherry’s global reputation — and how its collapse ultimately paved the way for a return to quality and authenticity.

      It’s a gripping tale of ambition, excess, and the painful lessons that reshaped modern Sherry.

      Episode 10:The Reputation Crisis
      Jan 17 2026

      Christopher explores how Sherry lost its prestige in the 20th century. After phylloxera, producers turned to sweeter, mass-market styles like Cream Sherry, which suited changing global tastes but damaged the region’s reputation. As supermarkets pushed volume over quality, Sherry became seen as cheap and old-fashioned.
