Vermouth tips:

• Since vermouth is fortified wine, it lasts longer than regular wine. However, unlike wine, vermouth doesn’t get better with age.

• Unopened vermouth should be good for three to four years after bottling, but it’s probably best to toss it after that.

• Once the bottle has been opened, you should store it in the fridge and try to finish it off within three weeks
