I genuinely enjoy Buckfast and I refuse to be ashamed of it.
My favourite local wine is also the favourite of homeless people, it comes in a carton.
Box wine is actually a staple in Sweden where I live, but again without the negative connotations. Great way to be able to enjoy wine in moderation without having it spoil early - having to either commit to finishing a full bottle or have it spoil is a major hassle.
It’s great for cooking as well, you can just pour that 1/4 cup you need to deglaze a pan or whatever without again committing to finishing a bottle or having it go bad.
how would you describe it? especially in contrast to the snobbery in the original post?
I think the description of the flavours were largely apt, barring the negative connotations. When thought about as its own category of beverage I think they can be pleasant. Just don’t think you’re going to be getting some wine, because that’s not really what it is.
Kind of like being under a bridge on one’s knees orally pleasing a vagrant while simulataneously drinking liquified meth through a dirty rag. But in a good way though - definitely give it a try
As someone from a wine country: wow. That is a description of nightmare.
I wouldn’t use that even for cooking.
Its a tonic wine, it was traditionally literally used as medicine, hence tasting like medicine
I read some comments and found one describing the wine as such, being enriched with caffeine. But wow!, nonetheless. That sounds just awful.
It tastes pretty good if you don’t think of it as wine, if you’ve ever had Vimto it tastes like that
I’m not sure if wine used as medicine is a point for or against the NHS…
That metal gun whiff is to die for
Really tho, reminds me of a sherry I had once
Makes me think of Dave Barry on Wine
I’ve never heard of Buckfast tonic wine before but buying tonic wine and then whining that it doesn’t taste like wine makes you the weirdo, not the producer.
What is it now, a syrup or a wine?
Wow, this article is classist as hell. They really don’t like people who enjoy public parks or ride public transportation.
Not sure if I am missing your joke here, but British humour can pretty vicious at times. This is perhaps one of the mildest examples I have seen
I mean, yeah, the UK is a very classist place
I tried buckie once! Drank a whole bottle, later that night had some sort of weird seizure while trying to go for a piss. Mashed my face against the skirting board, looked like I’d been in a fight the next day.
Buckfast. Just say no.
red bull gives you wings
buckfast gives you epilepsy
Hahaha that proper made me laugh
skirting board
TIL (baseboard)
American here. What is this stuff? Is it intended to be consumed in a particular fashion, not just gulped down in a glass?
Victorian era four loko, the ingestion technique is more generally forced down.
Breakfast.
It’s fortified wine with caffeine and is associated with people getting drunk and causing trouble
The buckfast motto tells you everything you need to know.
Buckfast gets you fucked fast.
It’s intended to be consumed in a park directly from the bottle.
An ungodly fortified tonic wine brewed by people of god. Brewed could even be a strong word, if I had to guess, I would say it’s extracted from a natural reserve which was originally thought to be oil until they realised it gets you shitfaced.
It’s mostly consumed as an act of bravado in Scotland and the north of England, with the intention of getting riotously drunk.
It appears it’s kind of like MD 20/20 here in America. Cheap, sugary “bum” wine.
I just read they also add caffeine to it. Jesus.
Oh gods, mixing madd dog with four loko sounds horrible.
original four loko had caffiene in it and was insane
deleted by creator
Sounds like Jager bomb in a convenient twist-off bottle
This is an apt comparison, especially since Buckfast is also caffeinated
Bucky has one purpose. It’s the thoroughbred of not-spirits.
Best served warm and straight from the bottle to the back of the throat.
Wreck the hoose juice
Buckfast gets you fucked fast, brewed by monks, drunk by punks, BUCKFAST
What’s with his comment about caffeine? I’ve never heard of wine having caffeine.
It’s fortified wine with caffeine. It’s basically Four Loko, if Four Loko tasted like Benadryl’s bastard stepchild.
Fortified wine with caffeine
Buckfast has caffeine added to it.
If that’s the fast part of the name, I’m not sure I want to know where the buck comes from.
A deer carcass
Weird.
mixing a depressant with a stimulant so they cancel out
Quil
Buckfast sounds amazing, now I want it
Good old Scottish nectar!
Unforgettable. Nice.
