I bought a bottle of this two weeks ago and I have made several drinks with it and had several small glasses by itself. Overall, it is different it is not as sweet as I thought it would be but it is sweeter than several sweet wines I have had. It does make a good Wet Martini but the Gin is very important because if it does not have strong citrus notes then the flavor is off somewhat. I have cooked with it and it adds great flavors to pork and chicken dishes. Cinzano Bianco is very inexpensive and I will revisit this summer and try it with hot weather drinks but for right now it is only nice and not something I would use regularly. Enjoy.
