what is a wine spritzer?

Answer 1

basically its just white wine and soda, you can do red wine and then it kinda tastes like vimto

Answer 2

A white wine with about the same measure of soda water added to it usually served with ice. Sometimes bar staff do it with lemonade instead but it should be soda.

Often they just give you a small dash of soda - topping up the wine glass. So I ask for it as a long drink.

If you do drink wine spritza watch out - as in some bars they see it as an opportunity to give you less than the correct wine measure and still charge you for it. The soda they fill the glass up with it doesn't cost them anything to produce.

Answer 3

A tall, chilled drink, made of wine and soda water



Alcoholic Spritzer
The word comes from the German spritzen "spatter, squirt, spray, sprinkle", i.e. adding water and thus diluting the wine so that it can be consumed in larger, thirst-quenching amounts without the negative effects of excessive alcohol.


Origin
Spritzer is a false friend with respect to the name of the drink in most of Germany, where the word "Schorle", which derives from French, is used. However, in Austria, Spritzer is the normal term, together with the more common form (a noun derived from the past participle of spritzen), Gespritzter (mostly pronounced G'spritzter), a term also found in some German regions, such as Hessen (e.g. Süssgespritzter, i.e. a "sweet spritzer" using fizzy lemonade (e.g., Sprite) instead of soda water ("Sauergespritzter"). In Hessen, however, "gespritzt" usually refers not to a wine/water or wine/lemonade mix but to a mixture of soda water or lemonade and Apfelwein (in Hessian dialect, Ebblwoi), an alcoholic drink from fermented apple juice somewhat similar to (hard) cider but distinctly non-sweet.

In Austria and Germany a "Radler" is a beer combined with lemon soda. For this reason the most common type of beer used in a Radler is Export. In the northern part of Germany, it is being called "Alster" or "Alsterwasser", relating to the river Alster.

Wheat beer with lemon soda is common only in the Munich-area and known there as a Ruß (russian), for legend tells, it was invented in the Munich beer hall "Matthäser", then a meeting place of russian exilees before the 1917 October Revolution.

It is common in Germany to mix Wheat beer and Coke or Juices such as Banana Juice or Cherry Juice.

A new form of spritzer has appeared in south west France since 2005, known locally as "Rose Pression" and "Blanc Pression". It is wine based, carbonated and served in draught form on tap from kegs. Its alcoholic strength is thought to vary between 5% and 6% abv.


Non-alcoholic Spritzer
In the United States, some non-alcoholic carbonated juices are sold as spritzer, including OceanSpray Juice Spritzers. The same type of carbonated juice (actually made with juice and carbonated mineral water) is known in Germany as Saftschorle or Fruchtschorle. (Both short for rarely used Fruchtsaftschorle.) Particularly Apfelschorle (apple juice spritzer) is one of the most popular soft drinks in Germany. In Austria Apfelschorle is called Apfelsaft g'spritzt. ... g'spritzt can be combined with every juice (e.g. Orangensaft g'spritzt or Pago/Cappy g'spritzt (producers of juices).

Answer 4

THE REAL SPRITZER IS:
"2 FINGERS OF WHITE WINE + 2 FINGERS SPARKLY MINERAL WATER."
The first 2 fingers (wine) should be measured lengthwise (so basically 1 finger's length), the 2nd 2 fingers are measured as a width of 2 fingers.

THAT IS A SPRITZER AND NOTHING ELSE IS :-)

Answer 5

It is when a white or sweet red is combined with another beverage such as 7up, lemonade, white grape juice, etc. to create a lighter cocktail. This is a good way to enjoy a cocktail and keep your alcohol consumption at a minimum. This is especially important now with stricter DUI regulations and targeting of casual drinking to prevent the heavy intoxication concerns of the late 60's and early to mid 70's.
