MODERATORS
I genuinely enjoy Buckfast and I refuse to be ashamed of it.
how would you describe it? especially in contrast to the snobbery in the original post?
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
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.
it's looking like i can't buy it or import it to where i live, sadly ๐
the descriptions made it sound like prune juice except caffeinated, alcoholic, and with a slightly broader flavor profile.
I think I would've actually liked it, but allegedly it's a schedule 4 controlled substance according to the braindead dipshit assclowns at the Drug Enforcement Agency...๐
fucking feds. Typical bastard pig bullshit.
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.
