One drink is tied to Austria. The label on each says how: where it began, what the country is known for, what people drink there, or where the origin is disputed.
How each drink is tied to Austria
Associations are editorial judgements. The evidence link shows the source used.
The popular story says Austrian soldiers stationed in the Veneto in the nineteenth century, when Venice was under Habsburg rule, watered the local wine down to beer strength, and that the name comes from the German spritzen. Difford's tells the story without a source, so it stays folklore. Listed as contested so the Austrian thread in the spritz is visible without crediting Austria with the drink.
