I am not sure this article is correct in mentioning cream because you can see through Tia Maria (unless the same name is used for a different drink in other countries).

I recently (April 2006) noticed that (in the UK at least) the alcohol content has been dropped from 26.5% to 20% and the taste has become less syrupy. I tried samples from old and new bottles side by side. Presumably this cut production costs by reducing the duty on the alcohol content. I question whether this drop in cost was matched by a drop in retail price. Man with two legs 12:35, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Response: You are right, the article was wrong and I fixed it, Tia has never been a cream liqueur or resembled or had anything to do with Baileys. Any cream or milk content in a Tia cocktail would have been added by the end-user; there are many drink recipes that call for such a mixture, and in fact Tia can be used just like Kahlua in a mixed drink. Yes the ABV reduction (which has also happened with Kahlua) was to lower the alcohol tax and save the company money.

Hi there,

This is my first post to Wiki at all, so please excuse me if something's wrong with it.

Now to what I want to say -

Please note that in fact it is not quite correct to say that Kahlua is produced by Allied - since Allied Domecq / Pernod Ricard merge took place.

It can be checked easily at http://www.pernod-ricard.com -> Brands -> Liqueurs where one can find Kahlua in a list of Pernod Ricard products
