What primary function does the alcohol-free bitter serve regarding traditional aperitivo consumption?

Answer

To allow participation in the ritual without consuming ethanol

The decision to offer an alcohol-free bitter reflects a keen understanding of cultural assimilation, acknowledging that the *aperitivo* ritual is often more about the social timing and the specific bittersweet flavor profile than the alcohol content itself. The Red Bitter provides a non-intoxicating option that satisfies the ritualistic craving for that distinct taste profile, enabling consumers to engage fully in the pre-dinner social moment while adhering to modern preferences for low- or no-alcohol consumption.
