Vermouth is a fortified white wine flavored with aromatic herbs. It was originally created by adding botanicals to cheap wine to improve its flavor, but soon became a popular aperitif.
White Vermouth
White vermouth, also known as French or bianco vermouth, is much drier than its red counterpart and is a key ingredient in the classic martini.
