Our experience in Spain is that vermouth is served in various glass designs, but always over ice.

A good book covering the history of wine is "Inventing Wine" by Paul Lukacs. On average, we find inexpensive French, Spanish, Portuguese & German wines to be better than inexpensive NA wines. Obviously, YMMV. |
If people enjoy wine over ice more power to them. Its not something I would do.

By recipe, I use sweet Vermouth to make Manhattans. Simple Martini & Rossi, Dolin’s or my favorite, Antica Formula Carpano 1786. Often switching around the bitters used. I also experiment with different Amaro varieties. They tend to add more complexity to the drink. Some do not require any bitters to be added.
Cherry of choice is Luxardo. |
In the last year or so I started drinking Negronis. I use Tanqueray Gin, Carpano Antica Sweet Red Vermouth, and Campari. I mix it like Stanley Tucci does - delicious!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Srjk7qJ4PQ4 From "The Negroni: Drinking to La Dolce Vita": According to reliable lore, the cocktail was born when an Italian bartender responded to a customer's demand for a stiffer riff on an Americano cocktail (a much-tamer mix of Campari, sweet vermouth, and club soda). The patron, Count Camillo Negroni, had picked up a taste for strong liquor while working—true story—as a rodeo clown in the American Wild West, and gave his name to the resulting concoction. |
