France – La Fee Verte or The Green Fairy (Absinthe) was famously restricted in 1915. Since 1988 Absinthe has become legal in France as long as it isnt marked Absinthe but is labeled spiritueux à base de plantes dabsinthe. France additionally regulates the chemical substance fenchone thats present in fennel so beverages must consist of 5mg/liter or a smaller amount of fenchone. A lot of distillers make low fenchone Absinthes specifically for the French market.
