Definição

A drink served before a meal to stimulate appetite.

Em Profundidade

Wine aperitifs should be light, refreshing, and palate-stimulating. Champagne is the classic aperitif, along with dry Sherry (Fino, Manzanilla), dry rosé, and crisp whites. The tradition is deeply embedded in French, Italian, and Spanish dining culture. Aperitif wines should not be heavy or sweet — they prepare the palate rather than satisfying it.
