I am looking for just about everything (old factory/family pictures, logos, ad material, promo material, old bottle labels, etc. etc.) that has to do with Plantiac, the old Plantinga family, or the Plantinga distillery

Plantiac is a particularly soothing brand of Dutch brandy (in Dutch called "Vieux") which, although not exactly crafted according to near-natural principles, awards the enthusiastic sipper with a smooth feeling in the throat, a pleasant feeling in the head, a warm feeling in the gullet and stomach, and no hangover to boot! Also known as 'The Divine Fluid', it has been known to make its way on more than one (especially Dutch) coding convention. A few people really learned to like this thanks to ST NEWS, and several bottles have been exported - to great joy and general shoutings of "yeah!" - to countries the likes of Norway and Canada. To get to the bottom of the process which is used to make this Fluid, the "Plantiac Pilgrimages" were undertaken, of which faithful reports can be found on this site as well.

After we had tested - literally - just about any conceivable brand of 'vieux', Harmen Posthuma (father of ST NEWS co-conspirator and best friend Stefan) suggested we try Plantiac. We'd never heard of it before, but were hooked instantly. It's not commonly available in all the shops, which is probably why we hadn't discovered it yet. That was around mid 1988. Stefan moved to Canada later, and he confesses it's the thing he misses most about Holland.

Because of the status Plantiac acquired in the scene of people we mingled in, I decided it was high time for some kind of tribute to The Divine Fluid, which is exactly the reason why this site was put up.

THE SMALL PRINT

This site is not sponsored by Plantinga distillery or anyone else. Like any author/band fan page, it is not a commercial site. The logos were used without specific permission of anyone involved in the marketing, distribution or production of Plantiac. If you are an attorney paid by aforemeant noble people and they disapprove of this site, please contact me and this site will be canned. Needless to say, this site wasn't put up to encourage people to consume vast amounts of alcohol. If you drink Plantiac, keep a measure (Dutch: "Geniet, maar drink met mate"). Contents may settle during transit. The creator of this web page is irresponsible, so don't hold him. None of the contents are to be taken too seriously. There.
