Talk:Bénédictine

accents?
Does the name of the drink in English commonly have the accents? As the article shows, there is an English word Benedictine without accents. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 16:36, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

You are right: it doesn't have accents in English usage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:702:2:7340:1926:B78F:86AC:6E63 (talk) 03:49, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Origin Story
The origin story has no evidence that it’s true. Removing until we have some sort of actual source beyond marketing confabulations. Stephen Balaban 18:10, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

"Red berries"?
One of the known ingredients listed in the Recipe section is "red berries". This links to a generic definition for "berries".

What KIND of red berries? A casual web search turned up over two dozen different kinds of berries that are red, at least ten of which are inedible or actually toxic. "Red berries" could be anything from raspberries to toxic hollyberries. If the type of red berry can't be specified, "red berries" should not be included this among the list of known ingredients. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.253 (talk) 01:26, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Still the original recipe?
Has the recipe remained the same over the 160 years since introduction? Or does the change from 43% alc. to 40% mean the recipe has changed at least once? Is that an actual change to the recipe or just a change in labeling? 192.157.84.166 (talk) 16:57, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
