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).
Wines from different years are aged and blended using a solera system before bottling, so that bottles of sherry will not usually carry a specific vintage year and can contain a small proportion of very old wine. Sherry is regarded by many wine writers as underappreciated and a neglected wine treasure. 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.
