An alcoholic drink served after a meal to aid digestion.

Im Detail

Traditional digestifs include Port, Madeira, Sauternes, Vin Santo, and grappa. The concept is that bitters, high-alcohol, or sweet wines calm the stomach and provide a satisfying conclusion to a meal. Fortified wines pair naturally with cheese courses and desserts. The digestif marks the transition from dining to conversation.
