Medium-sweet

Medium-sweet describes a vermouth with intermediate sweetness, enough to round acidity and bitterness without tasting like a liqueur.

Perception depends as much on sugar as on acidity, alcohol and botanicals such as wormwood or gentian. Two products with similar sugar can taste very different.

It is neither a colour nor a closed recipe: it can apply to whites, rosés or reds. The comparison of red, white and dry vermouth helps place it in context.
