Talk:Palm wine

message: Somebody needs to do some fact-checking on this article. I find it hard to believe that the sap could ferment enough in just a few hours to have an appreciable alcohol content. And I'm still mystified by the reference to "kernels". MrDarwin 19:07, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Palm kernels. Google hits on the topic. Also mentioned in our palm oil article. This document and this one support the early fermentation and should probably be listed as references. — BrianSmithson 19:30, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The production of 1 to 1.5% or so percent of alcohol in 24 hours mentioned  in the ITDG article refered to above is quite normal. My experience is that tappers judge the alcohol content from the time they collect the sap (often in the afternoon in South Africa) whereas it has been fermenting since collection started or the container was last emptied.

replies: text: My research supports this, if I remember correctly. I've got a bunch of notes from which I intend to expand this article greatly in the future; now I just need to get around to actually doing it . . . . — BrianSmithson 22:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't have believed it either, but while on a recent visit to Sri Lanka I discovered it does ferment extremely quickly.  The smell is rather off-putting, but I couldn't knock it without drinking some of the stuff, and after doing that, all I can say is, it's the grossest tasting drink in living memory.  The Sri Lankans all love it; and they're welcome to it.  --  JackofOz (talk) 00:08, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Missing word 

message: I drank an Indonesian palm wine called Tuak, availabe in red or white with an alcohol volume of 2-5%. Should at leat be mentioned in the local names list, shouldn't it? --202.155.116.57 14:13, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Indonesia 

message: The first reference given appears to deal only with Jubaea chilensis, yet it is cited in support of Palmyra and coconut in the opening sentence of the article. Am I missing something here?--Yumegusa (talk) 13:06, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Opening sentence - verifiability? 

message: Can someone please change the sentence in the intro so it doesn't say "up to one to two"?  How about just "up to two" or "one to two". 97.127.180.111 (talk) 14:48, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
