Dubonnet Aperitif Wine, 75 cl (Packaging may vary)

Product Information

BBC's Mark Williamson captioned a snap of an empty shelf, as he wrote: "Dubonnet sold out at Waitrose - sent earlier this evening." Dubonnet has always been seen as the expression of a tradition and a French art de vivre admired the world over. Naturally flavoured by plants and spices, this elegant wine-based aperitif from France is patiently aged in oak barrels in cool, dark cellars. Dubonnet was created in 1846 by Sir Joseph Dudonnet who was a Parisian wine merchant and chemist. The quinine based aperitif is famously loved by both the late Queen Elizabeth II and of course by her mother!

It is simple and a bit old fashioned, but as a long drink with plenty of ice, it low in alcohol therefore easy on the brain cell. The word "Dubonnet" comes from the French word for "dark brown", which is a reference to the dark colour of the original recipe. Dubonnet was created in 1846 by Joseph Dubonnet, a French chemist. Joseph Dubonnet's original recipe used quinine, which was added for its medicinal properties. The quinine gave Dubonnet its distinctive bitter flavour, which many people enjoy today.
