Their are hundreds of absinthe resources on the internet, but only a far smaller number I'd recommend. Here they are:

ABSINTHE & ABSINTHIANA
Le Musée Virtuel de l'Absinthe
Our French language sister site, now online. The translation of new sections and new
additions to the Virtual Museum sometimes lags a month or two behind the English site.
One of the oldest sites, probably the largest, unquestionably the best. An unequalled source of accurate information,
coupled with the best and most interesting forum. Kallisti, based in San Francisco was the a truly remarkable creative force
behind this extraordinary site, which has directly resulted in many transcontinental friendships being formed, several
business's being started, and (so far) at least one marriage! In 2004 Oxygénée purchased the site from Kallisti.
Absinthe Classics
Our sister site offers the finest modern absinthes for immediate worldwide delivery, including the award winning Doubs
Premium Absinthe, Absinthe Duplais, La Ptite and Clandestine La Bleues, and the Jade range of Belle Epoque absinthes.
Absinthe Collectors Forum
An online forum, specifically for the discussion of absinthe history and lore, and absinthe antiques and collectibles of all
kinds. Lots of useful information for collectors here, including latest eBay finds, fakes and forgeries, items wanted and for
sale etc. Discussions in English and French.
The Virtual Absinthe Museum Cafe Press Store
Webshop selling high quality 300dpi reproduction absinthe posters and prints based on unique and unrecorded original
artworks from the Virtual Absinthe Museum. Also a wide range of T-Shirts, totes and other apparel.
Thujone.Info
Accurate, authorative information about thujone, the controversial active ingredient in absinthe, including abstracts (and
when possible full-text versions) of all significant peer-reviewed scientific papers on the subject.
Le Bistrophile
A beautifully designed site, with the focus not exclusively on absinthiana, but rather on the lost world of the French bistrot.
Wonderful photographs, and charmingly written text.
L'Heure Verte
New, but very comprehensive French site, attractively designed, with many useful links.
Absinth-Guide.de
Excellent German site including a comprehensive buyers guide and a very active forum.
Absinthe.se
Outstanding English-language Swedish site with comprehensive reviews of vintage and modern absinthes, brief
biographies of famous absinthe drinkers, instructions on preparing an absinthe, FAQ and links.
FOOD & DRINK
ART & ANTIQUES
AllPosters
Highly recommended vendor. To buy finely printed reproduction posters,
type " vintage absinthe " in the search box at left, and click "go".
There are over 80 absinthe posters available.
Les Trois Tresors - Opiumania
Not about absinthe, but a site dedicated to the fabled narcotic that flourished in parallel with it: opium. A fascinating archive
of rare documents, postcards, smoking paraphernalia and books created by a passionate collector, with many very useful
links.
