If there’s one drink that’s exploded onto the scene over in 2023 it’s vermouth. And this fortified wine definitely has a lot going for it. It’s lower in alcohol than the average spirit (generally between 12 and 18%), which makes for an easygoing sipper. It’s not as sweet as other fortified wines, making it more versatile. And finally, a good vermouth charms with subtle flavours of spices and botanicals. It’s no wonder bartenders are making it the star of the show.
