Curiosities about Marsala

Marsala is the largest wine-producing centre in Sicily, boasting a long-standing tradition. Legend has it that in 1773 the ship on which the English merchant John Woodhouse was travelling made an unscheduled stop in the port of Marsala and tasted the so-called 

'Perpetuum'. It was a local wine, which he liked so much that he thought of importing it into his own country. He had brandy added to it to increase its alcohol content and prevent it from deteriorating during the long voyage.
