Dubonnet is a French wine-based aperitif. It is made with red wine, herbs, and spices.
The word "Dubonnet" comes from the French word for "dark brown", which is a reference to the dark colour of the original recipe. Dubonnet was created in 1846 by Joseph Dubonnet, a French chemist. Joseph Dubonnet's original recipe used quinine, which was added for its medicinal properties. The quinine gave Dubonnet its distinctive bitter flavour, which many people enjoy today.
Dubonnet was said to be the late Queen Mother's favourite tipple.

Have been drinking Dubonnet (with gin or bitter lemon) since I was 15 and still think it's the best, most refreshing aperitif nearly 50 years later. I can't understand why it is so hard to find especially in France.
Love this drink so hard to buy I shops now.i also have been drinking it for 46 years
best drink for over 45 years as far as i am concerned.
