Pastis is French (as the article points out). Removing references to Greek cuisine and Greek products. Philippe 14:19, 22 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Merger

  • opposed Although I am an author of the article, I would prefer to be merged into whole section anise-flavoured spirits, not pastis alone. Both spirits are older than pastis and tend to be stronger in abv, plus are consumed neat not in a louched form. Hopefully , a section dealing with all world's anise-flavoured spirits will arise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.11.236.156 (talk) 12:02, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
  • opposed I'm not in favor of merging with this Polish anis-flavored vodka. Yes, there are several aniseed-flavoured drinks that share similarities. But, even in France, there is a distinction between pastis and anisette, which, I understand, is made with slightly different plants. David.Monniaux 04:48, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
  • opposed These are two completely different alcohols with different cultures behind them as such they should not be merged. They are both anise flavored and have alcohol in them, those are the only similarities., so perhaps they belong as mention in a larger anise-flavored alcohols but certainly they should remain separated as well for more details when someone (perhaps myself) gets to its expansion (I happen to be a pastis drinker).--Christopher Tanner, CCC 17:51, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Opposed Agree with the above, if we were to merge we should also merge with anisette, arak, ouzo, and raki which have more in common at face. Scaper8 21:55, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Opposed There is no link at all between the 2 drinks. It's like merging Wine and Cognac because there made from graps and contains alcohol... Cperroquin 13:27, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Opposed I do think it would be useful to have an overview article of the whole class of drinks, and in fact I wrote one several years ago at anise-flavored liqueurs, but it was deleted for not having enough information at the time (see old version). But that's a different matter than merging all the articles together. --Delirium 08:45, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Closing merge proposal with a consensus after two months of no merge--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC 13:36, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
