StyleRed Vermouth CountryFrench Vermouth Distillery/Brand Dubonnet Dubonnet Rouge Dubonnet is a French wine-based aperitif. It is made with red wine, herbs, and spices. The word "Dubonnet" comes from the French word for "dark brown", which is a reference to the dark colour of the original recipe. Dubonnet was created in 1846 by Joseph Dubonnet, a French chemist. Joseph Dubonnet's original recipe used quinine, which was added for its medicinal properties. The quinine gave Dubonnet its distinctive bitter flavour, which many people enjoy today. Dubonnet was said to be the late Queen Mother's favourite tipple. For an extra touch of class, why not follow Del Boy Trotter's example and order "Garçon, dos Dubonnet pore favore. Danke schon."?
