buckfast tonic wine

[dannyboy]

defo a tase u require it was like maple syrup when i tryed it
alot of people drink when i used to work in a shop some buisness men came in for a half bottle and a bottle of ld

Not the best tasting but it gives a good kick cause of all the caffeine in it. My mate has a bottle tattoed around his leg with "buckfast is magic" scrolled round it.

it tastes disgusting or as other peeps have said its an acquired taste uke:

a sip was enough for me so im never likely to acquire the taste, but half a bottle was enough to get my darling lil daughter drunk for the first time when she was 15 : shocked2

A half bottle is good for the train journey into the city centre on a Saturday night!

this is known as the Champagne of Glasgow

Our local (Dundee) strong fruit wine is Cairn O'Mohr. I've been mingin' on that a few times.....lol.

Nothing wrong with Buckfast or Thunderbird. Nice & cheap
to get you blazin'.

Helen liddel even spoke about it in parliament. the monks must have coined it in that week. it was on the front cover of every newspaper.
