About Madeira wine

Madeira wine is a fortified wine produced on the Portuguese island of Madeira. It is served as a drink and used in cooking, including sauces and reductions; styles range from dry to sweet.

It is a clear amber to deep brown liquid with a distinctive nutty, oxidised flavour and varying sweetness. Bottled styles are commonly labelled by sweetness or grape/style, and cooking Madeira products may differ from drinking wines in formulation.
