What does PERRY mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
An alcoholic drink made by fermenting the juice pressed from pears, in the same way that cider is made from apples.
Perry is produced much like cider, by pressing ripe pears and letting the juice ferment naturally or with added yeast. Many of the pears grown for perry are small, hard and too sharp to eat, so whole orchards exist purely to supply this one drink. The tradition survives longest in parts of western England and Wales, where some perry pear trees are centuries old.
