Could someone tell me the differences, both in taste and makeup.

My untrained palette has them tasting fairly similar, with Sherry a bit
more watery possibly. Though with no white port left in the house maybe
my memory is deceiving me.

Thanks.

Are you talking about the beverages sold under those names in Australia or
the wines made in Spain and Portugal respectively?

Sorry. Australia.

The white port I had was from Betheny Vinyard in South Australia. Sherry
is just the plain old Penfolds stuff.
