Is Vermouth a Wine or a Liquor?
Air Date: Wednesday, February 5th, 2025
When you think of Vermouth do you think of it as just a mixer for your martini?
Vermouth is actually a wine! Wine must make up at least 75% of the total volume of a Vermouth, so it is very much a wine! From its ancient medicinal roots in 1050 BC China to its evolution in Italy as an aperitif, I’m diving into what Vermouth really is and why it’s so significant in the wine world. I’m digging into how Vermouth is crafted, the types of wine involved, and the unique botanicals that give Vermouth its distinctive flavors. Plus, I break down Vermouth from extra dry to sweet. And if you are curious about how to drink Vermouth, I’m covering that as well! So, tune in and get ready to see Vermouth in a whole new way!
