- For too long vermouth has just been that sweet drink people like James Bond mix with other drinks to make cocktails.
Well in Span it's a big deal and is drunk neat, from the tap.
I decided to embark on a trip that would take me from the capital of Madrid, to Barcelona and Reus and back again. All in the name of vermouth.
Thanks to Renée Christenson of Devour Barcelona food tours; Laura Prats, Carles Prats and Helena Ferreiro of Miró vermouth producers; and Paula Móvil and Roberto Castán of the Vermutería back in Madrid.

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!
picolo2022 Games Amen to that!
As an American emigrant to Barcelona this is exactly the info I was looking for on my new favorite beverage! Mucho gracias!
This is so soothing to listen to. I could listen to him tell stories all night. And great video of course, very informative.

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.
These interviews were fantastic, really grand to hear from local Spaniards from different cities!
Mike M Thanks so much Mike! Glad you enjoyed it. Salud Sir!
This video makes me want to jump on a plane to Spain immediately! Very well done and informative!
Elma Wine & Liquor Thanks! And you should! Buy the ticket now!
Very high quality video, well done
wintersong77 Thanks so much!!
I had vermouth everyday when I was in Barcelona, yum. Now I'm back in the States, I bought one from our local wine stores. Cheers!🥂
You will go to he'll trust me
Wine is haram
Great Research! Fun to watch your journey. Didn't realize people drank vermouth straight! Had a glass straight my self to try it out. Will have to show my friends tomorrow.
Sam Roberson Amen to that! Though, the Spanish stuff straight, make sure you mix that Martini ;)
This is exactly the video I was looking for mate, very informative and honestly the setting couldn't be better
hippy dippy Thanks! ;)
Incredibly interesting! Thank you for this!
My pleasure Aaron! Salud!
Wow - what an informative video!
justcallmejosh Thanks Josh! :)
Always enjoy your videos, definitely the best foodie ones on youtube. I was in Madrid about a yr and a half ago and became addicted to Vermouth
Tony Pittsburgh Thanks so much Tony! Vermouth is a serious problem once it begins
I'm so glad I clicked your video first! I'm really interested in trying vermouth and you've done a ll the research in one informative video. I am planning a Madrid visit in October this year with my family so I'll be looking for a bodega or two to visit;-)
Thanks
Tony
Great video and channel. Really had my eyes opened about Spanish vermouth after a trip to Barcelona this summer, but, ironically, my favorite vermouth of all the ones I tasted was from Madrid -- Zarro, though I wouldn't have turned any of ones I drank down. Cheers!
The Unknown Winecaster Hah! Madrid for the win! Thanks for the comment. I'm obsessed with vermouth. If you can ever find St Petroni, that's my personal favourite. A Galician one using Albariño. Delightful!
Thank you for the videos. Would be interesting to see some process of making Vermouth. Thanks again for your time to do this.
My pleasure; glad you enjoyed it :)
Very interesting. I am studying about the characteristics and peculiarities of this fortified wine and this video helped a lot.
Ricardo Alessandri Cheers for the feedback man! Enjoy your studies, salud!
I do too,love my port.will have to try vermouth
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
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!!
Impressive work you've done. Enjoyed the video.
Bjarke Madsen Thanks Bjarke! I seem to ruin my liver in all my videos ;)
Very well an informative video thanks for doing this, to take personal time effort and money to do this to people like me .. I wanna say thank you from venezuela.. keep it like this it is so helpful. greetings and SALUD
+Shafick Gutierrez Thank you so much for your kind comment! It means a lot to me that people are finding the video(s) useful. As long as people as, I'll keep making them. Just need to save up the money :D
Making my first Manhattan as I'm writing this . This is awesome
Thanks for the info! I want to learn more about Vermut on my trip to Madrid. This info about the history, production and current culture in Madrid is just what I was looking for.
Cara Rynerson You’re welcome! I’m glad it all helped :)
The Gastro Traveler has Vermutería in Madrid closed? I can’t find an address. thanks!
Cara Rynerson Hey Cara. It’s a pop up not a bar. Check their Facebook page :) 👍🏻
Great video! Thank you!
Chi Chung 정치영 Thank you for watching!
Great documentary Luke - beautifully shot, edited and presented. Insightful too, methinks it might be time to give a Spanish vermouth a go. Be right back...
+Dave Watkins Thanks Davey!! How was the vermouth?? Remember you have to have the WHOLE bottle.
Great video. I just tried Vermouth a couple of months ago. Now it is the only alcohol I drink.
Brad Lokk Haha! Great choice! Salud!
A whole new world!
well done !
Great vid. I'm going to indulge very soon.
Kaylan Geekie Cheers man! Indulge away! :)
oye tio, pero y que lindo tu (primero), tu acento y tu trabajo. bravo! 🏆 #vermú
Hi Luke, thank you for your lovely Madrid videos! Can you please recommend the best places in the center of Madrid to have a glass of nice vermouth? I've only been to Casa Labra..
Tali M Of course! Many many bars do it. You can try a good selection at San Miguel market. Los Gatos does a huge one. Bar Cerveriz has a nice one. But most good bars will have it 👍🏻
Great, thank you!
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.
Does anyone know the name of the song that opens this video? I heard short excerpts a few times, but, never the whole piece.
In which city silibrite
Your welcome. I really enjoy this kind of video.. and by the way If you have any recipe of the original vermouth to share will be the best.. i'm interested in homemade version of vermouth. please and thank you again
+Shafick Gutierrez I've never made it, but apparently it's not too difficult. I found this www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/jun/19/how-to-make-perfect-vermouth. Might be useful!
I was searching more for a brand they drink. I have never had it while I was in Spain last year. They sell lots of brands in the USA, but I wanted to try something popular in Spain...ant suggestions?
very good job
Μανος Αμυρσωνης Thanks very much!! :)
Incredible video! Do you have any recommendations I can get here in the United States?
Hey there. Unfortunately Spanish vermouth doesn't seem to export very well. But I'm sure there are some online sellers, and Miro might even export if you placed a bigger order!
Are there any of our "Western" vermouths that are worth drinking like this?
Nice video
To find out more we have to travel anf show everyone :) worth.
Classy.
Thanks!! :)
What's a popular brand of vermouth to drink neat? and which one would be good to mix in a cocktail?
Hey there! Almost all Spanish vermouths are designed to be drunk neat. My favourites are Petroni blanco, Alvear, Forzudo red, Fernando de Castilla. Mixing in the cocktails I have to admite I don't know. I know nothing about mixology haha
The Gastro Traveler muchísimas gracias! Wonder how many of those I could get where I live
me ha gustado el video gracias un saludo : )
Gracias Gema!
A ti
How much does one cost on average?
Robin And The Dog About the same as a glass of wine. 2-4€? Not expensive at all :)
Great video mate - full of fantastic info, and I thought the presenter was hot, too.
James Blick Haha, thanks James. Glad you liked it! Now, stop playing on the internet and go drink some vermouth!
Are you Simon LeBon's brother?

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)
Great exposé. So I am from Stockholm, right now inTorrevieja, witch is a small queint town. Loving it. Soon in Stockholm I will be starting my pop up called Vermuterian. The spelling is adapted to the swedish language. If you want to check me out on Instagram, vermuterian_bar. Cheers
0:44 The population of Istanbul, Moscow, London, or Paris is bigger than that of Madrid.
I take it mixed with Gin. Dry. Shaken
Why the shake?
@@andrewallenpainter1616 I sort of make it over rocks and do a stir shake, it's like a aggravated stir. Then strain off the ice.
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/
Rogier Wilmink Cheers man! Your vermouth looks amazing! I want it in my face! Hopefully you'll get it in the madrid shops!
Madrid is the 6th city of Europe population wise
I’m glad that’s your take away from the video. I think I was referring to the EU but said Europe.
the first woman was beautiful.
I thought this would tell me about vermouth.
And if you watch it, it does 👍🏻
What I took away from this video is that the only Spaniards who actually work are the distillers
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 .
