Bermet is one of the first association for Sremski Karlovci. It is a traditional, desert, aromatic wine, that has been produced in this area for centuries. Originally, it was made as a medicine, but as the time went by, the people started to make Bermet for pleasure because of its exceptional taste. The Court in Vienna was buying Bermet in advance from the wine producers in Karlovci at very high prices. From the middle of the 19th century, this wine was exported to the USA regularly
