You NEED to refridgerate your vermouth!

I see this time and again at restaurants and dives. Even fine dining establishments. Vermouth is WINE it will SPOIL. Even when refridgerated i’d give the stuff a week. But still I see bottles of vermouth YEARS old on shelves. I understand the need to have it for whatever martinis or negronis you make once a year. But just know they are tasting horrible when you serve them with spoiled vermouth.

Edit: Jesus okay it lasts longer than a week. I just really fucking like negronis okay
