Vermouth 101 Introduction. Welcome to Vermouth 101. The intent of these pages is to demystify vermouth, primarily for the American audience. Vermouth has been ubiquitous in the USA for well over a century, but few Americans understand what it is, and some have even maligned it.
Water's stickiness (from surface tension) plays a part in our body's ability to transport these materials all through ourselves. The carbohydrates and proteins that our bodies use as food are metabolized and transported by water in the bloodstream.
The presence of hydrogen bonds also makes water molecules more 'sticky' or in scientific terms cohesive and adhesive. The small charges on the water molecules allows them to stick together which is why water has a 'skin' that small insects can walk on, and also explains why water can be sucked up a straw so easily.
