Tío Pepe Fino Sherry (Palomino Fino), 75cl

Sherry is Andalusia's great underpriced wine — iconic bottles at supermarket prices that cost 3x in export markets.

Price: 7.95 EUR (El Corte Inglés supermarket price, 75cl bottle, DO Jerez-Xérès-Sherry)

Where to buy: Any supermarket; better: the González Byass bodega in Jerez de la Frontera, or vermouth from Casa Mariol/Yzaguirre in Barcelona

• The world's benchmark fino costs a third of its US price at source — also grab an En Rama seasonal bottling or a Spanish vermut (Yzaguirre Reserva ~€9) unavailable abroad
• US: 1L duty-free, more allowed with token duty; India: strict 2L limit in checked luggage
• Fino is delicate — drink within weeks of opening; for longer-lived gifts choose Amontillado or Palo Cortado
