perry

Fermented pear beverage

Perry is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented pear juice, analogous to how cider is made from apples.

It has a long history in England and France, where pear orchards were cultivated specifically for perry production: We sampled local perry at the Somerset farm.

The drink ranges from dry to sweet and may be still or sparkling. (Capitalized Perry is a given name or surname.)
