Cocktails Au Vin

Wine is far too remarkable and diverse an alcohol to be relegated to drinking on its own. It can be used to mix up and make fascinating wine cocktails; whether it is a bottle of red, white, rosé, or sparkling wine. From classic drinks and imaginative cocktails with new flavour pairings to fruity sangrias for a party, these cocktails offer an exciting taste of wine's potential, no matter the season or occasion. Business Traveller India curates some of the best and most delicious wine cocktails to liven up a celebration or occasion.

APEROL SPRITZ

Aperol Spritz dates back to the 1800s. Visitors and soldiers from other parts of the empire were said to have found Italian wines too strong and so lightened them with a spritz of water which became known as an Aperol Spritz. In 1919, Luigi and Silvio Barbieri created Padua's famous Aperol and as this bitter apéritif rose to fame, so did experimentation. During the 1950s, Veneto was at the peak of chic fashion and gastronomic delicacies, allowing the optimum moment for the Aperol Spritz to enter Paduan society. The Aperol spritz is the best-known cocktail to feature the Italian bitter with a bright orange flavour. Topped with chilled prosecco and club soda, it's a refreshing dinner drink.
