Talk:Chartreuse (liqueur)

message: Why are there degree signs for alcohol proof?  Is this a European custom? I don't believe I've ever seen this before. ---  Juicy 02:34, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That's the French measurement custom, but normally alcoholic degree is defined as a percentage. Weird. David.Monniaux (talk) 12:31, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting that on lots of my older bottles of spirits, the degree sign is used for proof, with the percent sign used for volume.  Most of the newer stuff doesn't include the proof measure at all.  Just an observation really C2r (talk) 22:36, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course, reading the wiki article on Alcoholic Proof states the difference in American and European measuring, and that degrees proof was used as standard terminology in Europe, though since 1980 the UK uses ABV - that would explain everything!

thread_title: Alcoholic Prood and Degree Signs

message: The current article states that each of the three monks knows 1/3 of the recipe. It is my understanding that each monk knows 2/3 of the recipe: one knows parts 1 and 3, one knows parts 2 and 3, and one knows parts 1 and 2. Thus, should one monk die unexpectedly, the two survivors could teach his parts to a replacement.Naaman Brown (talk) 23:06, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right -- that is the way secret sharing is usually done.  Otherwise they would lose 1/3 of the recipe. I've added a citation needed to the claim.  Autopilot (talk) 02:56, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: History

message: The article states Though the flavor is highly complex, many[who?] find it most distinctly reminiscent of anise, which is easily discernible as one of the ingredients.
Anise predominates in Absinthe and Pernod, but I do not detect it as distinct in Chartreuse green.Naaman Brown (talk) 23:20, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: The Taste

message: Is there a reason why the infobox has to use the spelling "colour"? It looks odd when the rest of the article says "color" and indeed the box itself has "flavor". I'd like to change it in order to be consistent, but not if it was going to upset some system about which I do not know. Views please? 138.37.199.206 (talk) 12:07, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed. VMS Mosaic (talk) 06:44, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

text: This has been fixed many times but the British spelling keeps returning. I have fixed it again and added a :Template:Use American English. GA-RT-22 (talk) 21:24, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  References 

message: The article doesn't say what foods are customarily eaten with chartreuse liqueur.  Is the liqueur usually consumed with desserts (like a dessert wine), with appetizers, with dinner, after dinner, or in any of these ways? Keraunos (talk) 06:59, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

message: The distillery has moved to Aiguenoire. I will try to update the article later, but if someone else wants to do it, go ahead. GA-RT-22 (talk) 21:36, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Distillery has moved 

message: I just reverted the removal of this from the lead: "It is one of the handful of liqueurs that continue to age and improve in the bottle." The edit summary said "false, unsourced info". But this is sourced, to "War On The Rocks", in the Flavor section. Per WP:LEAD if you want to remove this, you need to remove it from the Flavor section, and from the lead. I agree the statement seems unlikely, and it's possible the source is not WP:RS. GA-RT-22 (talk) 02:58, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

message: I'm pretty sure there is nothing at  that mentions cloister or last word. Maybe you meant to put that sentence after the citation rather than before? GA-RT-22 (talk) 15:44, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I am pretty sure removal of the cocktail links related to poorly placed reference tags is not the right move. —¿philoserf? (talk) 19:49, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
