[edit] Pastis

Surely most of the content after pastis is mentioned belongs in the pastis section? Interesting note about the sugar cube, though- have been served pastis in France (last year, before the riots) and this was never even mentioned!

It most likely does. I'm not sure if the drinking instructions are correct, it sounds like someone took the absinthe instructions. Pastis normally doesn't have any bitterness and is presweetened so a sugar cube seems a bit redundant. The water ratio seems quite high too, I've normally heard of pastis as being a much lower water ratio. -- Ari 23:28, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just kinda annoyed

about the "In France, drunk driving....etc" hardly seems relevant to the aperitif/digestif topics. anyways, seems a bit unfounded. even with citation, it really is not relevant, IMHOJoaquin Kline 12:58, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Only alcoholic?

Aren't there non-alcoholic aperitifs? --Galaxiaad 22:41, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not just alcoholic

Aperitivi are not necessarily alcoholic. Indeed, the most popular ones are non-alcoholic, including Crodino and Sanbittèr. 222.148.6.28 (talk) 22:59, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
