It's not wine, but some find it to be a contemporary of it.
Absinthe is a liquor that is based around wormwood, anise, and fennel. It's very high in alcohol content (usually 120 proof), and requires water dilution enable for the drink to be drinkable. It often comes in a green color (referred to as a "verte"), but it can come colorless/clear (a "blanche"), blue, brown, etc. It was banned for its notorious history back in the early 20th Century, but was recently legalized in 2007. Unfortunately, it's rather expensive at the moment due to low demand and production.
I have recently become a tremendous fan of it, an I'm currently drinking a Vieux Carre, which is a wonderful and herbaceous bottle of absinthe.
Anyone else a fan or at least curious about it?
