About This Style
What These Profiles Represent
Under U.S. TTB wine standards, aperitif wine is a Class 7 wine category: grape wine with added brandy or alcohol, flavored with herbs or other natural aromatic materials, and at least 15% alcohol by volume. The same standard treats vermouth as a type of aperitif wine with its own designation, so DUI Professional keeps Wine / Apertif and Wine / Vermouth as separate subtype pages.
Documented examples in the active profile set include French quinquina and aperitif wines and Italian Americano-style aromatized wines. Official Lillet sources place Maison Lillet in Podensac near Bordeaux and describe production there since 1872; official Cocchi sources describe Americano as an aromatized wine created in 1891 and Cocchi Rosa as a Piedmont red-wine variant with botanical extracts.
Producer and importer sources support the named profiles for Dubonnet Rouge, Byrrh Grand Quinquina, Bonal Gentiane-Quina, and Mattei Cap Corse. Geography on this page follows producer or production-region information, not consumer popularity, and the generic Apertif row is excluded from mapped geography because it has no usable manufacturer information.
The active DUI Professional These profiles include the generic Apertif profile plus named Lillet, Cocchi, Dubonnet, Byrrh, Bonal, and Mattei Cap Corse rows. The subtype average is useful for database review only; For BAC simulation, use the selected drink record, pour volume, and product ABV.
Use these Apertif profiles to compare ABV, serving size, and estimated standard-drink dose before adding a drink to a simulation. For case work, start with the specific drink profile and then adjust pour volume, drink timing, and any case-specific assumptions.
