Aperitifs have benefitted from the growing interest in speciality and niche drinks, from which "portfolio drinking" is evolving. Many different types of aperitif categories have strong visual images which are a central part of their appeal. This "Companion" is designed to provide information on a myriad of both well-known and more unusual aperitifs from around the world. It details a broad range of categories, production methods, ingredients and flavours, including: vermouth; bitter; aniseed; galiano; pineau des charentes; whiskies; tequila; aquavit; rum; sherry; and madeira. It discusses the history of aperitifs, and how and where different styles evolved. There is a comprehensive brand directory of the world's premier brands, together with tasting notes and provenance, and related features and fact boxes enlarge on various aspects of aperitifs.
