Talk:Fernet

message: Can anyone confirm that there are opiates in the Italian product?
The SF Weekly article phrases it a little differently, implying that all Fernet (or at least the stuff made in America) had its recipe changed in 1978. Hmm, doesn't answer the question. The company website is very close-mouthed about non-Italian production, but we have a cited source for a Tribeca distillery and a very large Argentina one. It does seem unlikely that any has opiates today, tho. Samogon 01:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

message: In Argentina, a Fernet with Coke doesn't normally take up as much Fernet as the article says.

message: Also shouldn't it be just Fernet, rather than Fernet Branca.  Fernet Branca is one of many brands of Fernet, albeit the original.  In Argentina there are a good 10-15 brands of Fernet available, such as Cinzano and Martini. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.186.243.151 (talk • contribs) 
Yeah, probably it should be just Fernet.  At the very least, I just added a redirect from Fernet to Fernet Branca, but I can see an argument that it ought to be renamed.
Unfortunately, every single thing I know about Fernet is from this Wikipedia article, so I don't know :D --Jaysweet 22:00, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fernet Branca is indeed a brand of Fernet, which is a type of amaro. Another company that makes a Fernet is Luxardo. I will make some adjustments. Rlitwin (talk) 21:26, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

message: The origin story given is inconsistent with the cited SF Weekly story and the company's own website. This story also doesn't explain the colorful 'Fernet' part. Can anyone cite the story with the wife being the inventor, or shall I change it? Samogon 01:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Okay, i live in Cordoba, Argentina, and i drink fernet every time i get a chance (yummy :P), and i have to say that putting 1/3 of glass of fernet will make it taste like some fermented "#%(. The best way of preparing it is:
1.- Put 5 - 6 ice cubes on a tall glass
2.- Add about 1/10 of the glass of fernet
3.- Slowly pouring the Coke and at the same time small drops of fernet.
4.- Mix it very little.
5.- Enjoy! :D
Please someone edit the preparation tip's so it doesn't taste like sh%t, because if you put 1/3 of fernet it will. MakE (talk) 18:39, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You seem to be implying that straight Fernet tastes like crap... which I would have to agree with. It's the worst liqueur I've ever tasted. —Slicing (talk) 09:34, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

message: There's a huge confussion in this Wikipedia article, and probably in the whole fernet-drinking community in San Fransisco! Fernet-BRANCA isn't the name of the beverage! The italian amaro is called FERNET, "Branca" is just a brand among the many that produce Fernet (sure, the most important one, but it doesn't really matter).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.19.112.118 (talk) 14:10, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  NON-BRANCA FERNET 

message: Ok, big news that i think will end the argument between calling this article Fernet or Fernet Branca. The Real Academia Española (Royal Spanish Academy, the entity that manages the words included in the Spanish dictionary) has received a proposition to include the word "Fernet", alone. PS: Branca is a brand, just like Coke or Pepsi. I'm moving this article to Fernet, and i strongly recommend it stays that way.
:Sources in spanish, please, all wikipedians that don't speak this languaje, use google tools and translate this ;) [] & [] & [].
Cheers ;) --MakE shout! 01:34, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Fernet has been around in my family for a long time and we always pronounced it "fur-net", even though the word has a distinctly French look to it, in which case the proper pronunciation would be "fur-nay".  Does anyone out there have a good sense of the national origin of this word?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.235.133.100 (talk) 05:58, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: FYI: It's an Italian product, and the Italians are pronouncing it "Fair-net". --79.193.28.168 (talk) 13:38, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciation of Fernet 

message: The repeated use of "Fernet-Branca" throughout the article seems to border on a publicity strategy to promote that brand.  Shouldn't the article be written with a more advertisement-free style?
Putting a mention stating this is the most popular brand (if indeed it is) may be ok, but not misleadingly replacing the generic term and adding too much information that is clearly brand-specific!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.172.233.130 (talk) 15:44, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The thing is, Fernet Branca was the first Fernet, made by the Branca Brothers since 1845, like Coca was the first cola. Then came other companies that stole the name for their own vaguely related copy-cat products, just like Pepsi make their own cola. But Fernet Branca is the original and still by far most popular of them all. --79.193.28.168 (talk) 13:42, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Why this has category "Argentine alcoholic drinks"? The section "Popularity in Argentina" does not say it being Argentinian. It says it was brought there by Italians and later advertised by Fratelli Branca (which is Italian). 91.154.188.185 (talk) 07:04, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
