DRINKS AND BEVERAGES IN VENETO People who live in Veneto have many traditional drinking habits. There are several kinds of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, but the most common ones are: coffee, spritz and wine. Coffee is the typical breakfast and after-dinner drink, spritz is usually drunk in the afternoon, while wine can be drunk during meal or after dinner.

Coffee Italians drink a lot of coffee during all the day: in the morning, as breakfast, after dinner, in the evening. Coffee isn’t just a drink, it’s a custom. When we met friends we use to invite them to “take a coffee”, but it is a way to say: “Why don’t we have a bit of time together?”. In other words, the moment of coffee is a break during the day to stay with people we like to talk to. In Italy there is a coffee drink specific for every time and mood: normal, long, “espresso”, “corretto” (with grappa or liquor), with milk, hot or less hot… Then there is the “cappuccino” (made with coffee and milk) that with a brioche, is one of the better ways to begin the day!!!
