Vermouth

Vermouth is a fortified wine that is popularly used in cocktails and as an aperitif. It is made by infusing herbs and spices into white or red wine, and often has a higher alcohol content than unfortified wines. Vermouth originated in Italy, but today it is produced in many countries around the world. There are many different types and styles of vermouth, and popular brands include Martini & Rossi, Cinzano, and Noilly Prat. Vermouth typically has a bittersweet taste, with floral or citrus flavours.

Vermouth has a long history dating back to ancient Greece and Rome. The name "vermouth" comes from the German word for wormwood, which was used to flavour the wine. Vermouth became popular in Italy in the 18th century, and was later exported to other European countries and the United States.
