I just love a culture where people party till late the night before, wake up and start drinking around noon, before lunch and more food and drinking. Viva Espana!

Spanish vermouth is just liquid gold, love it!

El vermouth (vermú) era una institución en la Castilla de los 70. Recuerdo perfectamente de niño salir a "tomar el vermú" con mis padres los domingos después de misa y antes de comer. A los críos nos servían un culín con gaseosa. Supongo que hoy les quitarían la custodia a nuestros padres y le cerrarían el negocio al del bar.

As an American emigrant to Barcelona this is exactly the info I was looking for on my new favorite beverage! Mucho gracias!

These interviews were fantastic, really grand to hear from local Spaniards from different cities!

I think it should be recalled that vermouth was invented in Italy, in the city of Turin. The original recipe is more or less unknown, but today there are several variations and each place has its own. Carpano, the firm founded by the inventor of Vermouth, proposes this formula www.carpano.com/en/products/antica-formula/?age-verified=767dd37544

@thegastrotraveler

Absolutely! I was lucky enough to try recently the Antica Formula vermouth which was delicious! It's a shame that modern Italy has lost a lot of its straight vermouth drinking concept and has become more famous for the 'mixing' types like Martini or Cinzano. But I'm glad it's bouncing back!!

At 7:13 the subtitles say 1947 but I think I hear something like 1957. I am not a spanish speaker, but I am a native portuguese speaker, which is similar.

Great vid. I'm going to indulge very soon.

Vermouth [1] [2], or vermutte [3], or vermouth in French spelling [3] and vèrmot in Piedmontese [4], is a flavored liqueur wine created in 1786 in Turin. [5] It is recognized as a traditional Italian agri-food product and is a primary ingredient of numerous cocktails. From 2017 it is a registered geographical indication. [6] (Wikipedia)

Really cool, Thank you! But the heartland, for lack of a better word, of vermouth is what is now Northwest Italy and Southwest France, and I don't think it's fair to imply that vermouths from there are mainly for use in mixed drinks. In any case, this was really interesting, and I want to try vermouth on tap in Spain now.

Great video and fully align on your philosophy of vermouth! We recently developed our own vermouth together with a local producer in the north of Spain and are introducing it now in the Netherlands. Check out Baron Vermouth - baronvermouth.com/

Why do gobby yank birds insist on telling the world how things should be done according to them . The old fellas in Catalonia have been doing this before they were a twinkle in their grandparents eyes, yet they think it should be done the 'merican' way .
