90.193.39.52 (talk) 15:10, 26 August 2008 (UTC), I was reverted, so here is my justification. The percentage of Pectine is 0,5-1 % of the weight of most fruits and the methyl groups of the pectine are located on the carbon ring which makes up the majority of the weight of the pectine. Some comments may be held for manual review. the two facts are unrelated, so I believe compounding them is a bit silly. Poitin/poteen is, as the name suggests, is distilled in a pot-still. Poitín (in English, this is pronounced roughly as poteen or pocheen) can be described as Irish moonshine. See Use the most easily recognized name. In any case, no contention is inferred in stating it is among the strongest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ethanbentley (talk • contribs) 10:04, 10 January 2015 (UTC), That's fine, ethanbently, but if that is your agenda, please be consistent in your editing. Unlicensed distillation was outlawed throughout Ireland in 1661, driving poitín production underground. Irish Independent Saturday, November 24, 1984 The article is inaccessible but the deaths obviously results from people drinking industrial methanol that someone told them was poitin. Producing alcohol from whey is an industrial process that was developed to make money from a otherwise unusable byproduct of the cheese industry. As far as I can tell, Regulation 208/2008 is this document here: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2008:063:0001:0002:EN:PDF which discusses import values for certain fruits and vegetables. Wahrmund (talk) 23:56, 24 August 2008 (UTC), Besides NOAD2, cited above, I have consulted the following dictionaries that list "poteen" but do not list "poitin. Poitín was distilled out to 60 to 90 percent alcohol by volume (ABV), and consumed as an unaged spirit. A third distillery, the large Cooley facility I mentioned last week, also jumped into the poitín market last year. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.40.118.79 (talk) 13:51, 11 December 2006 (UTC). Also sugar beets are not made into poteen, but sugar made from beets can be, so I have removed the reference to poteen being made from sugar beets.

As of February 27, she had reached her funding goal of $40,000, so I'm eager to see how things progress from here. Further to my last edits, I have taken out the sentence in the "production" section where it states that a wash would be made of ingredients x y & z, as it is just one of thousands of recipes, and not necessarily one representative of the norm. Poitín occurs increasingly often as a direct loan word (. Does anyone fluent in Irish/IPA know what I'm saying, or am I as I said off the mark? Any opinions on it? Poitín has been anglicised to also be spelt poteen. Assuming the title of this article remains Poitín (see alternative suggestion above), I would assume the IPA pronunciation would reflect the Irish pronunciation of Poitín, rather than the English pronunciation of Poteen or Potcheen (though perhaps I'm wrong in this). It is a distilled spirit. 110/2008 of The European Parliament And Of The Council of 15 January 2008 lists "Irish Poteen/Irish Poitín" under Annex III as one of the alcoholic beverages produced in the EU with (GI) Geographical Indicative status.

Poitin can now by bought legally in many locations around Ireland, this Potin has a percentage of 40%, however the Poitin that is still illegally distilled can be as strong as 90%, to say it’s a strong drink is a huge understatement. The first is a Northern Irish newspaper, and the second is the Revenue & Customs website. The percentage of Pectine is 0,5-1 % of the weight of most fruits and the methyl groups of the pectine are located on the carbon ring which makes up the majority of the weight of the pectine. To roughly estimate the strength of 'real' poteen, shake the bottle - if the liquid produces a foamy head which lingers then it is over 50% alcohol by volume. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.235.253.150 (talk) 13:29, 22 February 2013 (UTC).

My view is that it should include both because: Sadly the romantic image of a moonshiner sat on a remote hillside tending his still and then selling the few bottles produced down the pub has been superseded by criminal gangs operating large illicit distilleries and labelling their output as counterfeit vodka. I have never studied IPA in any way so pardon me if I'm way off the mark with those but I was directed here by someone who reads IPA who had got their pronunciation (which I thought sounded wrong) from here. Poitín was produced on small pot stills, originally over peat fires. --Ethanbentley (talk) 11:36, 6 December 2012 (UTC), I removed the following paragraph "The quality of poitín was highly variable, depending on the skill of the distiller and the quality of his equipment. 'legal versions' of potín are of a greatly reduced volume? JPG-GR (talk) 00:31, 2 September 2008 (UTC). "Poitin," which is Irish, is not listed in English-language dictionaries.

It seems a bit silly to use a wrong spelling when there is a right spelling. As is the way in Ireland, and anyone with Irish relations will testify, if you want to buy poteen, someone will know someone who knows someone else who frequents a certain pub. Poitín is thought to have been brewed in the 6th century and there is a common folklore that St Patrick made the first ever batch after he ran out of wine. What utter bullshit.
