Which of the following is NOT a classification of sherry?

Anada
VOS
Garrafeira
VORS

The correct answer is: Garrafeira

C. Garrafeira is not a classification of sherry. It refers to a category of Port wine that originates from Portugal. In the context of sherry, which is a fortified wine from the Jerez region of Spain, the terms Anada, VOS (Vinum Optimum Signatum), and VORS (Vinum Optimum Rare Signatum) are all appropriate classifications. Anada refers to vintage sherry from a specific harvest; VOS indicates quality and age, requiring a minimum of 20 years of age; and VORS represents sherries that have been aged for over 30 years. Understanding these classifications is crucial for identifying the various styles and qualities of sherry wines.
