Flavour or taste?
Which one do you think it should be, 'flavour' or 'taste'? - Sylph 09:14, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I think flavor sounds better and is more accurate in this case. For example, we can say the main flavor of Lemonade is lemons, but it could "taste" differant to someone since tastes vary. --Mad Max 23:48, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed, flavor/flavour is better. --larsinio ( poke )( prod ) 13:49, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

ABV & proof
What if an alcoholic beverage has a number of different manufacturers who produce differing volumes? For example, Curaçao liqueur has various manufacturers, and there are a number of different volumes for it, ranging from around 20% to around 30%. Should one put an estimate to it, such as "around 25%", or put it more like "ranging from 20.0% to 30.0%" or "20% - 30%"? Or something else, perhaps? Sylph 09:42, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well the infobox is there to provide at a glance information, so it doens thave to mention all cases (which looks like for Curacao should be mentioned in the article. I would say put something that is based on the most common manufacturer, if thst notspossibly just put "~20-30% depending on manufacturer". --larsinio ( poke )( prod ) 14:59, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Website parameter
I added a Website parameter for the official website of the beverage. Bebestbe (talk) 16:09, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Excessive wikilinking
There's no need to link to color/colour from the label in this infobox. I'd remove it myself but I'm not sure of the syntax and don't want to break anything (presumably just removing the square brackets would be fine, but I'm just being careful). Arguably the same applies to flavor/flavour, but that's a little more relevant to beverages. Quietbritishjim (talk) 17:38, 2 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Done. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 12:18, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Different proof readings
I noted that the template for this had 'Proof' without qualification. In the template notes I see that this is 'US only' but that wasn't obvious to readers of the articles. I have placed a qualifier on it for the time being (to be proof (US)) to avoid confusion, but think this needs a better fix, which is probably to have both international (i.e. 7/4 of ABV) and US proof (8/4 of ABV) in the template. Even better if this was automated from the ABV.

This would reduce potential confusion, especially on international brands.

If automation isn't possible, then i suggest changing the string to USproof or similar, and introducing an internationalproof one alongside. OwainDavies (about)(talk) edited at 10:33, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Suggestion
Can we change the parameter country of origin to just origin, since a lot of pages provide the city/region and country. Tinton5 (talk) 01:38, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Logo parameter
bsd. Is it possible to add a logo parameter to this template? Thanks --Ben Stone 20:37, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

Related parameter
The  parameter is unclear to me. Is it intended only for products from the same manufacturer (in which case it's irrelevant to articles about generic beverages and relevant only to articles about brands), or is it meant to cover comparable beverages regardless of manufacturer (in which case it should be called "similar" or "comparable")? What triggered my question is this edit to Cognac, which had listed both Armagnac and Vinjak as related products, in which an editor removed Vinjak while leaving Armagnac. I was deciding whether this was an improper removal, but then I realized I couldn't determine whether or not each of Armagnac or Vinjak belongs there, or whether Armagnac belongs there more than Vinjak does.
