| Is Ambrosia what they call "alcohol", or is it a ''kind'' of alcohol, like "brandy" or "wine"? Because I actually think ambrosia is "their word" for alcohol, and all things we'd call "alcholoic beverage" are "ambrosia". --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 20:59, 17 June 2006 (CDT) | | Is Ambrosia what they call "alcohol", or is it a ''kind'' of alcohol, like "brandy" or "wine"?

| :Admitting things could be different in BSG, in our world if (like Gaeta ) we say something is good with a chaser it usually a particular liquor, and often a particular brand. However, this may be question for the "official source". I can't remember, in the still scenes, if anyone called it something else. What about labels on bottles? Sorry, got to rambling. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 21:12, 17 June 2006 (CDT) | | :Admitting things could be different in BSG, in our world if (like Gaeta ) we say something is good with a chaser it usually a particular liquor, and often a particular brand.

| :::One the front of one of the bottles (Secrets and Lies), it quite clearly states that its 'Ambrosia' which leads me to believe that like Peter said - its a type of booze, much like Glenfiddich or Baileys or Grenadine :) --[[User:Fordsierra4x4|Fordsierra4x4]] 06:41, 18 June 2006 (CDT)

| :::::I've got a good screen cap of the Ambrosia label (from a "Behind the Scenes" segment on the DVD) that states "Stanford Distillery." That would indicate it's booze, most likely some relative of absinthe, Pernod, or Chartreuse.

| ==the label==
| |
| I just scored a scan of a set of Ambrosia bottle labels. Including the very amusing back label. The scan colors are off (not suprising, since it's metallic), but a little correcting in Photoshop produced something readable:<br>

| This came to me from Bradley Thompson, by way of his SO, Mexichick, who's a regular contributor at the Skiffy BSG forum. They got Ron Moore's okay to post the scan. We should probably ask before including it here (though I don't think they'd have any problems with one of my reproductions, since that was why they originally provided me the copy--I'd asked Terry Moore about the back label a couple weeks ago) --[[User:Scotchfairy|Scotchfairy]] 08:03, 12 August 2006 (CDT)

| :What is the status of being allowed to post these scans on the main Ambrosia page? Or maybe a higher res version than the one posted above? I wish I could just go buy a bottle of Ambrosia at the store!-- [[User:Anastasija|Anastasija]] 12:33, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
