FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does sweet vermouth last after opening?
Unlike hard spirits, sweet vermouth is a fortified wine and will oxidize. It stays fresh for about 4-8 weeks if kept in the refrigerator.
Does sweet vermouth need to be refrigerated?
Yes, because it is wine-based, it will spoil and lose its aromatic profile at room temperature once opened.
What is a good non-alcoholic substitute for sweet vermouth?
A mix of pomegranate juice with a splash of balsamic vinegar or non-alcoholic bitters can mimic the sweetness and acidity.
Is sweet vermouth vegan?
Not necessarily. Many brands use animal-derived fining agents like gelatin, albumin, or isinglass during the filtration process.
What is the difference between sweet and dry vermouth?
Sweet vermouth is usually red, contains more sugar (up to 15%), and has a spiced profile, while dry vermouth is clear, lower in sugar, and more floral.
Can I use sweet vermouth in cooking?
Yes, it is excellent in savory dishes, particularly with pork, chicken, or in rich sauces where a hint of herbal sweetness is desired.
How can I tell if my vermouth has gone bad?
If it smells like vinegar, looks cloudy, or has lost its distinct herbal aroma and tastes flat or sour, it has oxidized and should be discarded.
What are the main botanicals in sweet vermouth?
While recipes are secret, common botanicals include wormwood, cinchona bark, cloves, cinnamon, and citrus peel.
