In 1786 Antonio Carpano established the Carpano Bar, Turin. Situated behind the Turin Stock Exchange, it offered customers the choice of any variation of the basic 'Carpano Vermouth', with more sweetness, bitterness etc. The stockbrokers began referring to the gradations of bitterness as 'points'. In 1876 Carpano's Punt e Mes (point and a half) was launched, and has remained one of the world's most popular Vermouths ever since.
