The modern versions of the beverage were first produced in the mid to late 18th century in Turin, Italy.

After the wine is aromatized and fortified, the vermouth is sweetened with either cane sugar or caramelized sugar, depending on the style.Italian and French companies produce most of the vermouth consumed throughout the world.
