Absinthe Blog
A few years ago we ran an external blog under the domain www.absinthe-blog.de. We have integrated this into our shop for the sake of simplicity.
Absinthe has been permitted again in the EU since the end of the 80s and in Switzerland since 2005. Many myths are entwined around the "Green Fairy" and some information is based on dubious half-knowledge rather than real competence. With a kind of "knowledge base" we would like to contribute to putting absinthe in the right light.
