Always use a glass with a narrow stem so you can hold the glass by the stem, which prevents the wine getting warm from coming into contact with our fingers. Sanlúcar de Barrameda's cool temperatures and high humidity contribute to a higher yield of flor yeast than in Jerez or El Puerto de Santa María.
