I got given a bottle of Absente
Apparently is the good stuff. What should I look out for in a bottle?

Well, glass or plastic construction, watertight
topped with a cap or cork.

Those are the usual signs.

Plus some sort of label, perhaps printed paper glued to the bottle.

Someone you don't like, to give it to.
The real stuff is illegal as it contains wormwood which drives you menkle. You can't get it any more, what you have there is a foul-tasting waki drink marketed as absinthe when it patently isn't.

Soz.

I understood it to be illegal
Maybe that's only the case in France.

Me and her went round Vinopolis a few weeks ago.
The fella there said it had been banned in France, but not here. You're not likely to find much of the French absinthe as a result, the real stuff these days is mostly the white Swiss absinthe.

I for one am shocked by this abuse
'It is banned in many countries, including the U.S. But it is still allowed in European Union countries as long as the thujone content is less than 35 mg/kg. Thujone is a potentially poisonous chemical found in wormwood'

You're just upset because he's bought me proper stuff and not neon green bollocks

You won’t catch me putting potentially dangerous chemicals into my system, pal
