[edit] Flavour or taste?

Which one do you think it should be, 'flavour' or 'taste'? - Sylph 09:14, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I think flavor sounds better and is more accurate in this case. For example, we can say the main flavor of Lemonade is lemons, but it could "taste" differant to someone since tastes vary. --Mad Max 23:48, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, flavor/flavour is better. --larsinio (poke)^(prod) 13:49, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ABV & proof

What if an alcoholic beverage has a number of different manufacturers who produce differing volumes? For example, Curaçao liqueur has various manufacturers, and there are a number of different volumes for it, ranging from around 20% to around 30%. Should one put an estimate to it, such as "around 25%", or put it more like "ranging from 20.0% to 30.0%" or "20% - 30%"? Or something else, perhaps? Sylph 09:42, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Well the infobox is there to provide at a glance information, so it doens thave to mention all cases (which looks like for Curacao should be mentioned in the article. I would say put something that is based on the most common manufacturer, if thst notspossibly just put "~20-30% depending on manufacturer". --larsinio (poke)^(prod) 14:59, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
