Sir Wm. Batten and Pen and I to dinner at Sir W. Batten’s, where we were merry, there being at table the Treasurer and we three, Mr. Wayth, Ferrer, Smith, Turner, and Mr. Morrice, the wine cooper, who did divide the two butts, which we four did send for, of sherry from Cales.

Mine was put into a hogshead, and the vessel filled up with four gallons of Malaga wine, but what it will stand us in I know not: but it is the first great quantity of wine that I ever bought.

@samuelpepys We did a tour of a Sherry bodega in the Puerto de Santa Maria. The guide told us that the first time the English experienced Sherry was a shipful that was nicked by Francis Drake or some privateer or somebody, who took it back to London and everybody loved it. After that, we learned how to pay for it rather than nick it, and the rest is history.
