Wormwood is the backbone botanical for vermouth. Even the name “vermouth” is derived from the “wermut” infused German wines that came before it. Cinchona bark is the source of quinine, which most people are used to as a flavor component in their tonic water. Aromatized wines with quinine are commonly known as quinquina or chinato. Gentian root or flower is most commonly seen in Americano style aromatized wines. It’s also used commonly in many aperitivo liqueurs.
