Есть два разных типа Ширли. Методы классификации “цветущий” или же “не цветущий” в процессе пивоварения.
Так называемое цветение относится к белой пленке, плавающей на поверхности некоторых вин в процессе пивоварения.. Белая пленка называется “цвести”. This is Fino Shirley. It’s not very sweet, but it’s light and delicious. It’s a good aperitif.
Кроме того, “not flowering” is the one without albuginea, called Oloroso, which tastes rich and sweet. It is light, sweet and full-bodied with a high alcohol concentration (17%-22% in general). Usually as after-dinner wine.
