The name comes from the German word "Spritzen" (burst). It originated in Salzburg, Austria. It looks refreshing, and the bubbles burst like dancing soda bubbles in wine. Since it contains fewer calories than wine itself and the carbonation prevents overeating, it exploded in popularity as a "healthy drink" in the U.S. in the 1980s. Change white wine to red wine and you get "spritzer rouge"; change white wine to brandy and you get "brandy spritzer". When soda is converted into beer, it becomes a "beer spritzer.
