Just a comment, about the proof. Had a bottle this Christmas, don't have any documentary proof, but the bottle said it was 38%. So, just slightly lower than that quoted in the main page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.3.249.215 (talk • contribs) 21:54, December 25, 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grappa, some experience

I recently attended a training session in NYC. one of the attendees was an Italian. a group of us went to dinner at Carmine's and after dinner, he explained Grappa and that we should have a smooth Grappa. his explaniation was exactly on point of digestivo as noted in the wiki and the fact that you can eat and eat and not be full afterwards. his story about a lunch with family and friends that ended at midnight expanded his story. the waiter brought a small wine glass of Grappa, my Italian friend tried it and didn't like it. after a few words, in Italian, the waiter brought a second glass which my Italian friend blessed. all four of us slowly sipped our Grappa. if anyone has dined at Carmine's, they will greatly appreciate each meal served provides a quantity of food for two. of course, the diner was excellent and I over ate. as my Italian friend described, I did not have the full or bloated feeling I thought I would have after consuming such a meal. not that I suggest one uses this to over eat, of course. it could come in handy if you do go to Carmines' in Time Square!!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.82.178.31 (talk) 23:50, 20 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Nonino

I've removed this paragraph added by User:213.140.11.128:

Now Grappa is considered an elegant distilled beverage as Whiskey, Cognac etc,and this international success of Grappa is due to the Nonino family, who first created in 1973 the single varietal Grappa, the monovitigno (before only existed Grappa of mixed pomaces) and, in 1984, Nonino family revolutionized again the Grappa's world by distilling first of all the whole grape, obtaining the Ministerial authorization by their specific request.

If this information is included anywhere in any form, it should be in an article on Nonino. I know next to nothing on Nonino so I encourage something else to create one. Here is another useful link. —mako (talk•contribs) 21:50, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
