Eric Konigsberg on the New Absinthe

"If absinthe were a band, it would be Interpol, third-hand piffle masquerading as transgressive pop culture. If absinthe were sneakers, it would be a pair of laceless Chuck Taylors designed by John Varvatos for Converse. If it were facial hair, it would be the soul patch. If absinthe were a finish on kitchen and bath fixtures, it would be brushed nickel."

The motivations and tone of this piece are highly suspect. Check out my blog for a full dissection.

I agree with HB...ERIC KONIGSBERG does not seem like a typical writer for the drinks industry...Strange. Being disrespectful is one thing, but some of the things he said just did not seem in line with the quality and research that goes in to most articles that are published. Very strange.
