Dubonnet is a classic French aperitif-style aromatised wine, first introduced in 1846 in response to a quinine-fortification challenge for soldiers. It blends fortified red wine with quinine, herbs and spices, producing a sweet yet herbal and slightly bitter profile. With an approachable 14.8% ABV, it is ideal for both sipping lightly chilled and mixing into cocktails. Elegant, historic and versatile, it brings complexity and heritage to any aperitif moment.
