Bermet

🍷

According to local legend, bottles of this aromatized dessert wine were on the Titanic's wine list — and this small Vojvodina town is the only place on earth that makes it.

Bermet is a fortified, herb-and-spice-infused dessert wine made only in Sremski Karlovci, a town famed for baroque architecture and centuries-old wine cellars. Its exact recipe, involving botanicals like wormwood and saffron, is held secretly by just a handful of local families.

Why it's made this way: Bermet is a genuine one-town product — nowhere else in Vojvodina, or the world, produces it, which is a rare claim for any wine.
