Can anyone confirm that there are opiates in the Italian product?
The SF Weekly article phrases it a little differently, implying that all Fernet (or at least the stuff made in America) had its recipe changed in 1978. Hmm, doesn't answer the question. The company website is very close-mouthed about non-Italian production, but we have a cited source for a Tribeca distillery and a very large Argentina one. It does seem unlikely that any has opiates today, tho. Samogon 01:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
In Argentina, a Fernet with Coke doesn't normally take up as much Fernet as the article says.
Also shouldn't it be just Fernet, rather than Fernet Branca. Fernet Branca is one of many brands of Fernet, albeit the original. In Argentina there are a good 10-15 brands of Fernet available, such as Cinzano and Martini. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.186.243.151 ( talk • contribs)
Yeah, probably it should be just Fernet. At the very least, I just added a redirect from Fernet to Fernet Branca, but I can see an argument that it ought to be renamed.
Unfortunately, every single thing I know about Fernet is from this Wikipedia article, so I don't know :D -- Jaysweet 22:00, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
No, there is no such thing as a "brand of Fernet". Fernet Branca is a brand name for a spirit called "amaro". Since it's so popular, other brands copied the name Fernet, but the spirit itself is not classified based on that name.
I think it should be FERNET-BRANCA, with hyphen. This is how it is written in bottle label and in official home page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.100.124.218 ( talk) 06:03, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
The origin story given is inconsistent with the cited SF Weekly story and the company's own website. This story also doesn't explain the colorful 'Fernet' part. Can anyone cite the story with the wife being the inventor, or shall I change it? Samogon 01:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Okay, i live in Cordoba, Argentina, and i drink fernet every time i get a chance (yummy :P), and i have to say that putting 1/3 of glass of fernet will make it taste like some fermented "#%(. The best way of preparing it is: 1.- Put 5 - 6 ice cubes on a tall glass 2.- Add about 1/10 of the glass of fernet 3.- Slowly pouring the Coke and at the same time small drops of fernet. 4.- Mix it very little. 5.- Enjoy! :D Please someone edit the preparation tip's so it doesn't taste like sh%t, because if you put 1/3 of fernet it will.

There's a huge confussion in this Wikipedia article, and probably in the whole fernet-drinking community in San Fransisco! Fernet-BRANCA isn't the name of the beverage! The italian amaro is called FERNET, "Branca" is just a brand among the many that produce Fernet (sure, the most important one, but it doesn't really matter). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.19.112.118 ( talk) 14:10, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Ok, big news that i think will end the argument between calling this article Fernet or Fernet Branca. The Real Academia Española (Royal Spanish Academy, the entity that manages the words included in the Spanish dictionary) has received a proposition to include the word "Fernet", alone. PS: Branca is a brand, just like Coke or Pepsi. I'm moving this article to Fernet, and i strongly recommend it stays that way.
Cheers ;) -- MakE shout! 01:34, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Yes, the article should be called "Fernet". Definitely. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.19.112.118 ( talk) 15:47, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
Fernet has been around in my family for a long time and we always pronounced it "fur-net", even though the word has a distinctly French look to it, in which case the proper pronunciation would be "fur-nay". Does anyone out there have a good sense of the national origin of this word? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.235.133.100 ( talk) 05:58, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
The repeated use of "Fernet-Branca" throughout the article seems to border on a publicity strategy to promote that brand. Shouldn't the article be written with a more advertisement-free style? Putting a mention stating this is the most popular brand (if indeed it is) may be ok, but not misleadingly replacing the generic term and adding too much information that is clearly brand-specific! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.172.233.130 ( talk) 15:44, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Pretty much any single spirit and any single soft drink has been combined by people countless times in the past, it's really not the sort of thing that gets invented in one place and one time. The Slovaks mix their local Fernet with cola too - perhaps the authors of this article will assert that idea was brought to Slovakia by Argentine immigrants ..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.212.36.193 ( talk) 20:41, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Why this has category "Argentine alcoholic drinks"? The section "Popularity in Argentina" does not say it being Argentinian. It says it was brought there by Italians and later advertised by Fratelli Branca (which is Italian). 91.154.188.185 ( talk) 07:04, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
