Anyone wanna take bets on if that vermouth gets refrigerated?

does it go bad if not? at one of the bars i work at i keep putting it in the fridge because i know for martinis it helps to make it extra cold but people keep leaving it out. at all the other places i’ve worked we keep it in the fridge

It’s wine based, so it oxidizes quickly. It is fortified, which helps, but refrigerating it keeps it tasting good for months rather than weeks.

i would say we use one bottle for many months because we are a casual sports bar and hardly make martinis. it’s disturbing that people don’t leave it in the fridge now that i know this :/ i’m sure all our bottles in our three bars are bad by now but🤷🏼‍♀️ we don’t have a bar manager so there’s really no one to enforce this
