Etymology

The term 'vermouth' originates from the German word 'Wermut', which means 'wormwood', a key ingredient in traditional vermouth making. Wormwood has been utilized in herbal medicine and beverages since ancient times. The process of creating vermouth began in Italy in the mid-18th century, where it was developed as a medicinal tonic before evolving into a popular aperitif. The first commercial production of sweet vermouth is attributed to Antonio Benedetto Carpano in 1786, who created a sweeter style of vermouth that quickly gained popularity. Since then, vermouth has become an integral component of European drinking culture, particularly in France and Italy, where various styles and brands have emerged, each with distinct flavors and production methods.
