St. Vitus

St. Vitus is a German bitters with a robust 44% alcohol by volume (ABV), sold in 20 ml bottles as Aldi's private label alternative to Underberg. The bitters are attractively packaged in sets of four bottles and are priced at just €0.99 in Germany and €2.10 in Denmark. Production is handled by St. Vitus Deutsche Edelliköre GMBH, located in Rottenburg an der Laaber.

In Denmark, St. Vitus has gained popularity for use in drinking games. One such game involves distributing a bottle to each participant, who then opens it to reveal a number printed at the bottom. The individual with the lowest number must face a predetermined consequence, such as consuming multiple St. Vitus shots or undergoing some form of playful embarrassment.

Another Danish tradition with St. Vitus entails removing the "spiritus" sticker from the bottle, chanting "spiritus" and "Don Vitus" and then drinking the entire contents in one go. If someone fails to finish their drink, they might be playfully teased by their friends. This tradition is especially popular within the heavy metal community and is believed to have originated there. During the ritual, it is customary to affix the "spiritus" sticker to a nearby object as part of the fun.
