It was believed that it was even possible to reincarnate into the form of an animal or plant. Most modern, popular versions of reincarnation limit this never-ending process to the transmigration of the soul into human bodies. The concept of karma is closely associated with reincarnation. Karma is essentially the law of cause and effect. Those that profess belief in karma teach that the deeds (good or bad) of one's past lives affect this present life. Further, ones present deeds will have ramifications for future lives.
Sherry is a fortified wine made in the Jerez region of Spain. It is made by fortifying wine with brandy. The brandy is added after fermentation is complete (the sugars have been consumed by the yeast).
Sweet dessert wines are also made from Pedro Ximenez or Moscatel grapes, and are sometimes blended with Palomino-based Sherries. The word Sherry is an anglicisation of Xeres (Jerez). Sherry was previously known as sack, from the Spanish saca, meaning extraction from the solera. Oloroso ('scented' in Spanish) is a variety of sherry aged oxidatively for a longer time than a Fino or Amontillado, producing a darker and richer wine. 2  With alcohol levels between 18 and 20%, Olorosos are the most alcoholic sherries.
