Through a fantastic exchange of products with various other stands, including Saborpuro, Traiteur de Paris, Extract BV and L'amuse, Alterego introduced "sherry + tapas = shapas" to the Dutch gastronomic world. An instant hit with top chefs and food & wine professionals. The high expectations for this unique wine from Jerez were palpable as there was bountiful experimentation with new menu ideas, leading to the discovery of an assortment of new #sherryshapas combinations.

Adding to the fantastic reception received at the fair, an innovative social media campaign has been launched in Holland with #sherrylovers invited to post their own Sherry + Tapas combos, known as #sherryshapas.  View the entries so far here www.shapas.nl and cast your vote on who should wine a 5 course Sherry experience.
