Is vermouth considered wine ?

I have to ask.:rolleyes:

Is vermouth allowed to be carried on the ship? :evilsmile:

(After all, it IS a wine, eh?)

I think I know the answer, but, I had to ask!

Yes

Buy a vermouth spritzer and just bring on the small canister of it (like an ounce) to spritz in your martini glass. (I assume it is for a martini?)

You're correct, it is wine but getting the port personnel to comprehend that fact could be challenging so be prepared to point out the label information.

It wuill depend on who is looking at the bottle of Vermouth . Vermouth is a wine , because it is fortified with herbs etc . They might not consider it wine.

take a wikipedia description, BTW, why would you want to bring on Vermouth?

Hi

A sweet Vermouth is nice drink on ice, maybe with a twist of lemon. It can also be mixed with other drinks. It is a wine of course, but it is also fortified so you might have an argument bringing it on board.

I have brought a bottle of dry white vermouth on board a Carnival cruise, but it did look like a bottle of wine, unlike a bottle of Martini and Rossi, for example. Don't forget it needs to be 750 ml.

hope this helps

have a great cruise

Sweet is used in Manhattans and dry white is used in martini's. They may have ordered alcohol for their cabin.

Bingo!:D

It is most definitely wine. You will have no trouble bringing it on. Don't listen to the naysayers on this site. Enjoy your cruise:)

Some like to drink it by itself:)

If you are in Texas, vermouth is a liquor by definition, not a wine. Vermouth is fortified with wine spirits, making it a "liquor" for legal purposes. So, while they may let you by, don't be surprised if they don't.

Texas liquor laws are....not great...so I wouldn't be surprised if this is true but vermouth is still sold in grocery stores here while liquor is not allowed.

Either way, vermouth is a wine and should be allowed.

I wondered about that, as I had thought I remembered seeing it in grocery stores. But, since I don't buy it very often, I couldn't recall. Perhaps there are "non-fortified" varieties? Or maybe the level of fortification is important? This certainly won't be the first (or last) time I was wrong.

But, yeah, Texas liquor laws are pretty odd. Until about 5 years ago, if your beer had more than 5% ABV, it could not be labeled as "beer". Malted beverages labeled as "beer" everywhere else in the country magically transformed into "Ale" or "Malt Liquor." One brand, Brooklyn, I believe, labeled itself "In Texas, Malt Liquor". That law was overturned in a lawsuit recently. A lawsuit. On whether we can call beer, "beer."

Bingo!:D

Let us know if you get it on the ship. While technically a fortified wine, it's actually wine with added alcohol giving it a higher alcohol content.

The vermouth we use doesn't say wine anywhere on the bottle (except for the ingredients).

Some reason they should be able to bring champagne cognac :rolleyes: on the ship as well.
