How to make Vino con Soda

Why cooks start here

Vino con soda is table red or white lengthened with soda water, the lunch spritz of the old restaurant and the family asado. It is not a cocktail; it is how wine lasts a long afternoon.

Vino con Soda is a cherished refreshment, especially during leisurely lunches and family asados across Argentina. It hails from a tradition where wine meets soda water to extend the joy of a meal, ensuring the drink accompanies the conversation long into the afternoon. This is not the realm of cocktails, but rather a simple, time-honored practice that keeps the table lively and the spirits high. The taste is light and refreshing, with the familiar robustness of table wine softened by the effervescent lift of soda water. Served over ice, it offers a crisp and invigorating sip, perfect for those warm, sunlit days when the hours seem to stretch beautifully before you.
