What it is
Vermouth is a fortified wine flavored with herbs, botanicals, and spices. It is typically made from a base of neutral wine, to which alcohol and sugar are added, along with a blend of herbs and spices, most notably wormwood. The resulting beverage can be sweet or dry, and is often used as an ingredient in cocktails.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use vermouth primarily as a flavoring agent in foods, especially those with savory profiles. It adds a complex, herbaceous, and slightly bitter taste. Common food applications include pickles, olives, relishes, and certain savory sauces or marinades.
Health notes
Vermouth is considered a flavoring ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As it is an alcoholic beverage, its consumption in food products is typically in small amounts, and health effects at these levels are not a significant concern. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar flavoring substances. There are no widespread controversies regarding its use as a food ingredient.
Allergen info
Vermouth is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
