Yiddish

[1] indicates the word means "a spray" in Yiddish. John Vandenberg 04:03, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

false friend

Spritzer actually is a false friend, though the article is missing the correct translated term. The translation of "ein Spritzer" is "a dash" in relation to food or beverage (in relation to stains on clothes and other contamination it would be "splash"). "Schorle" refers to any beverage (except liquors and beer) mixed with water in circa equal shares. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.167.41.127 (talk) 14:35, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see how it is a false friend. The drink (wine + mineral water) is mostly popular in Austria and Southern Germany. I don't know about the use in Switzerland. So, I conclude: Spritzer is a valid term in German, denoting the same thing as in English. Thus, it is not a false friend. --213.47.148.180 (talk) 11:11, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spritzer is apparently not used for non alcoholic variants with fruit juice in the UK. This article should maybe indicate that this is a mostly US centric thing.

"Spitzer" types in Hungary

Is it correct that the drink is called in this paragraph (including the list) spitzer instead of spritzer or is it just a typo?--Zarbi1 (talk) 07:15, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Name problem

Spritzer (from Austrian "G'spritzer", in Germany called "Schorle"). In german speaking countries, where the drink was created, what is in Serbia and Croatia called "špricer" and "gemišt" is the same drink, but in those two countries (and maybe some other countries) those are two different drinks. The first is wine mixed with mineral water, while the latter is wine mixed with soda water. Those two drinks are different because mineral and soda water differ in chemical composition. Mineral water increases acidity of wine while soda water decreases it. Gemišt is more popular in Croatia, especially Međimurje, while špricer is (or was because mineral water is easier to come by) more popular in Serbia.

It's made in different ratios of water and wine. Originally it was 8 (wine):2, then 50:50, 3(wine):2, 2(wine):1. If made with more water than wine it is called thin "gemišt" (croatian: tanki gemišt). "škropec" is "gemišt" that has a couple of tablespoons of (mineral) water.

To conclude, "gemišt" and "špritzer", that is wine mixed with mineral water and wine mixed with soda water, in some countries are different drinks and in some countries are the same drink. The difference was more pronounced before because nowadays the quality of wine has increased so the purpose of water has also changed. That needs expansion in the article.Setenzatsu.2 (talk) 17:16, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
