Perry is a type of alcoholic beverage made from fermented pears. It is similar to cider, which is made from apples, but has a distinct flavor profile due to the use of different pear varieties. Perry can range from sweet to dry and is often enjoyed chilled. The production of Perry involves crushing pears to extract their juice, which is then fermented with yeast. This process can take several weeks to months, depending on the desired taste and complexity. Perry is popular in various regions, particularly in parts of England and France, where it has a long history.
