Icelandic brennivín

Shouldn't this article also mention the Icelandic brennivín? --D. Webb 16:26, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship to vodka

"Within Finland, the word viina is always used for Finnish made neutral spirits, including Finnish vodka, since the originally Russian word vodka is only used for vodkas from other countries." Dry Vodka is from another country?!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.171.192.96 (talk) 00:27, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Up to at least"

EU regulations reserve the name "vodka" for beverages distilled up to at least 95% and a final content of at least 37.5%.

What the heck does "up to at least" mean? A higher limit and a lower limit at the same time? JIP | Talk 19:55, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Hemkört"

Hemkört has to mean taken straight to your home, kind of like pizzas can be delivered straight to your house. I can't imagine that being an actual type of brännvin. (A, Sat Apr 02 2011) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.21.1.218 (talk) 10:20, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As a non-native, but fairly good, speaker of Swedish I have to agree. It's good that the mention of "hemkört" was removed from the article. JIP | Talk 20:29, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In Sweden, "hemkört" can be used as a synonym for "hembränt", i.e. illegally home-destilled alcohol (moonshine). As in the classic movie line "hemkört och lingondricka". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.70.151.173 (talk) 15:08, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

merger?

i think this should go to brandy

the Norwegian term redirects here and the Danish term redirects there

they're the same thing

it seems arbitrary — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.189.170.229 (talk) 09:32, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, they are not same thing. Not even close. --85.76.20.206 (talk) 17:40, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In Norway brennevin includes any drink that needs to be destilled (hence the name). 84.215.29.250 (talk) 20:43, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Making from wood cellulose?

The article says that this can refer to a liquor made from wood cellulose. I wonder about that. Wouldn't that produce unacceptable levels of (poisonous) methanol rather than drinkable ethanol? —BarrelProof (talk) 18:10, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article says "formerly wood cellulose." Presumably, they had a method for removing the methanol. Or maybe the article is wrong about this. You'd have to ask a Swede who knows about this kind of thing. Wahrmund (talk) 18:59, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
