To-Do[edit]

Absinthe La Fée?[edit]

Or should it be called "Absinthe La Fée" That is what the French would call it.

Yes, that is what the French would call it. But having checked all the cognac and champagne brands on the English language Wikipedia, I could only find one (Champagne_Krug) in which the type of drink precedes the brand name. So for the anglophone part of Wikipedia, it seems to be both the concensus and more appropriate to reflect what English speakers would say. Alanmoss 10:44, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not really distilled[edit]

La Fee is made by maceration of cold herbal oils. Someone change it. UNSIGNED.

It would be good to identify yourself, especially if you disagree with the article. In any case, you are incorrect.

QUESTION[edit]

Is there a limit to the amount of active ingredient in Absinthe ( other than alcohol ) that is proven to be toxic or in any other way adictive ? Or, is it just the history of absinthe, not of alcohol ? I hope someone could answer in a scientific and understandable fashion. Antonio Gonzalez.U.S. Customs Broker.

Absinthes produced today, as well as all the absinthes commercially produced in the 19th century, are well within modern safety standards. They are not toxic or addictive. One would have to drink so much that one would die of alcohol poisoning many times over before the thujone level would make any difference. Absinthe was so popular in the 19th century in France that people were making it at home. Uncontrolled production of any liquor could lead to poor quality standards: that was the real issue. Modern legislation allows absinthe in every country in the world except the US, Singapore and a few Muslim countries that ban all alcohol. The US ban is based on old inaccurate information; it would be just as logical for the EU to ban Coca-Cola because it may have once contained cocaine. Alanmoss 05:46, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A good answer. You can find information about thujone, the most famous "active" ingredient and its existence in absinthe on the thujone page (and the absinthe page). It should be noted there really isn't an active ingredient in absinthe beyond the alcohol. IMO it would be more logical to ban Coca-Cola because it once contained cocaine than to ban absinthe (since the only thing banning it in the US has not only been shown to be safe in absinthe but is indirectly considered GRAS).Ari 10:38, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar[edit]

Ari, I make it a point not to correct anything on the La Fee page, but could someone fix the grammar used for the Francaise, please. Alanmoss 23:40, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Advert[edit]

The sections that describe the different types of absinthe that are distilled is not neutral. This needs to be reworded, and inline cited, or it can be removed. JacobiJonesJr (talk) 09:41, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
