Anyone enjoy this? I lurrve it, but don't drink it at all anymore really. Have you non scottish/N.Irish folks heard of it?

Don't let the picture fool you. It is in no way a posh drink haha.

It is the drink of the gods though.

It's my drink of choice. Nothing better than being at a party and it's hitting around 11am and everyone is starting to get really strung out and you manage to get a bottle of bucky. We had this exact situation during the summer and decided to get someone to do an offy run. He came back with 8 bottles of Buckfast and a bottle of Rosé wine. Needless to say the whole party kicked into full swing again.

Love it. Drink it most nights before I go out - it has magical powers seriously!

I live about ten miles from where it's made. I've seen it in shops perhaps twice down here.

I love the stuff of course being from Northern Ireland. Had no luck finding it in England all last year now it's literally a walk away to get a bottle.

I love how the bottles are invincible.

Oh and the numbers mean nothing they are bottled outside the monastery, although every bottle does taste different. I remember buying a half bottle that turned out to be fizzy

God I wish there was somewhere in New Zealand to get this. sounds low-class and cheap enough to go down well here.

I do a camp every year where we meet up with some scots who bring a load of the stuff down. Pretty poisonous! They tried to explain what the numbers mean to us, but I lost track, funnily enough!

Also forgot to mention (although I'm sure the regular drinkers know to a certain extent), that it has 37mg/100ml of caffeine. That's 5mg/100ml more than any energy drinks.

Which explains my many lost nights at the Underworld in Camden kicking hardcore kids in the face (accidentally, I was dancing lol)

It's lethal stuff. I drank too much when i was younger, even the thought of it makes me ill.

Mates still swear by it though.

That four loko stuff looks insane

The numbers mean nothing. The wine is bottled outside the monks pad.

I've never had it but I remember reading about it in Ian Marchant's book The Longest Crawl. He seems to suggest that it is little more than one of those despicable drinks which is consumed pretty much exclusively by the 'tramp' market...

I read that thinking 'this doesn't make any fucking sense!'. It dawned on me at that point that I was reading an excerpt from each page. /facepalm.
