Whether as a primary ingredient for lower-alcohol sippers or a supporting player alongside more spirituous ingredients, both fortified­ and nonfortified wines are worth having on hand. Amontillado Sherry is delicious enough to sip straight or mix into cocktails­, like this riff on a Bamboo (a 50-50 mix of sweet vermouth and Sherry). Here, banana liqueur adds a subtle tropical feel.
