Vin Santo vs Weinschorle (German Wine Spritzer)

Both drinks put wine at the center but take it in opposite directions. Vin Santo is poured neat in small measures, slightly cooler than room temperature, showing a viscous, golden-to-amber wine with layers of dried fruit, nuts and honey, a luscious sweetness balanced by delicate acidity, and a long finish. Weinschorle chills a dry white wine to 6-8°C and lengthens it with sparkling mineral water, stirred only briefly to keep it crisp and effervescent. One is a slow, concentrated sip; the other a light, bubbly glass whose strength you set through the ratio.
