Vermouth is an aromatized fortified wine, flavoured with various botanicals such as roots, barks, flowers, seeds, herbs and spices. Vermouth was first produced in the mid-to-late 18th century in the city of Turin for medicinal purposes, it was later served as an aperitif, and eventually became popular with bartenders as a key ingredient for cocktails in the late 19th century.
