[9] [10] Etymology and history [ edit ] A collection of vermouth and quinquina bottles, including Noilly Prat Extra Dry, Lillet Blanc, Dolin Rouge, and Martini & Rossi Rosso According to Stuart Walton and Brian Glover, vermouth "is as far removed from the natural produce of the vine as it is possible for a fortified wine to get." [15] Modern use [ edit ] Beverage [ edit ] Martini & Rossi, the top-selling international brand of vermouth, started in 1863 in Turin and produces both dry and sweet vermouths, but is mostly known for its Rosso. [5] [54] Cinzano and Martini & Rossi also produce rosé vermouths, which are mainly distributed in Italy and France. [5] [30] By the mid-17th century, the drink was being consumed in England under the name "vermouth" which has been the common name for the beverage until the present day. [15] [16]

For some drinkers, sweet vermouth is an enigma, a seldom-touched bottle gathering dust on the bottom shelf of the neighborhood liquor store. The country of origin can give you some clues, but you really have to taste a sweet vermouth to know whether it's for you. Remember that "sweet" is a relative term: The wine has some sweetness, but it also has sour acidity, herbal bitterness, and tannic body. One sweet vermouth might have vanilla and caramel on the palate, while another could feature fruitier strawberry and plum. Walton, Stuart; Glover, Brian (1998).

Based on fragrant moscato wine, this vermouth's depth is evident from the second it touches the lips. The textured herbal bitterness gently pulses against a rich sweetness hued with cocoa, cherry, vanilla, and candied fruit. It's dynamite before a meal with a bit of ice and lemon zest, or afterward neat, as a dessert wine. Jones, Daniel; Gimson, A. C. (1977). Everyman's English Pronouncing Dictionary (14ed.). London: J.M. Dent & Sons. The name "vermouth" is the French pronunciation of the German word Wermut for wormwood that has been used as an ingredient in the drink over its history. Fortified wines containing wormwood as a principal ingredient existed in Germany around the 16th century. At about this time, an Italian merchant named D'Alessio began producing a similar product in Piedmont as a "wormwood wine". D'Alessio's version of the libation contained other botanical ingredients in addition to wormwood. Competing brands developed shortly thereafter in eastern and southeastern France, containing their own proprietary mix of ingredients, including herbs, roots, bark, and spices. [5] [15] [16]
