If you've been keeping up with The 9-Bottle Bar this month, by now you've learned that sweet vermouth consists of wine that's been fortified with additional alcohol; infused (or "aromatized") with a variety of botanical ingredients, one of which should be artemisia absinthium, vermouth's namesake, better known as grand wormwood; and sweetened with burnt sugar.
The process sounds simple enough — and thus begs the question, Can one make vermouth at home?
