So they make vermouth and sparkling wines. Vermouth is hard to taste mixed with other junk but the sparkling wine? Last I knew it was a huge 80's marketing push. Ill have to go get some and see if its good or crap.

That's it? I feel like I've seen their logo on a lot of bottles, but I guess all I've had is their vermouth. Kinda odd how they could be such a big name if their primary product is something people don't necessarily like...but I suppose every well-stocked bar has at least 1 bottle of the stuff, so there's that.

Isn't Martini a Bacardi brand?

All of their products I've had were completely unmemorable. Not bad not great.

Merger with Bacardi in the early 90s.

I bought a bottle of their rosé and prosecco for a dinner party solely on name recognition once. I'm like the Jon Snow of wines so I had no idea what I had bought.
They're not terribly expensive. Taste sweet, easily drinkable and have a good alcohol content. Apparently putting fruit in these drinks is a thing.

Yeah, I meant currently. Martini's name definitely stands on its own.

It's weird how non-auto brans can become synonymous with cars just because of a racing livery. I've never given Martini much thought as a brand itself, I hear any martini and I'm thiking of those classic colors. If I didn't smoke them, I'd probably associate Marlboro with F1 as well.

The wine is decent.
