Buckfast gets you fucked fast, brewed by monks, drunk by punks, BUCKFAST
American here. What is this stuff? Is it intended to be consumed in a particular fashion, not just gulped down in a glass?
It’s mostly consumed as an act of bravado in Scotland and the north of England, with the intention of getting riotously drunk.
Sounds like Jager bomb in a convenient twist-off bottle
This is an apt comparison, especially since Buckfast is also caffeinated
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
And Northern Ireland. Folks here love a bit (a lot) of bucky.
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 fortified wine with caffeine and is associated with people getting drunk and causing trouble
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.
Victorian era four loko, the ingestion technique is more generally forced down.
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)
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
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…
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.
Buckfast has caffeine added to it.
mixing a depressant with a stimulant so they cancel out
Wine tasters are a bunch of snobs. Fuck off with telling me what I can and cannot like, especially if its overpriced bullshit like fermented grape juice for $50 a glass.
A good wine does not have to be expensive. I actually should not be.
I’m from a wine country and even when we have to import grapes from abroad, a reasonable to good wine parks around €3 to €5, for a 750ml bottle. A very good wine will fetch prices on the €8 to €10 price range, €12 if some reserve.
Above that, you’re buying fluff.
I laugh when someone tells me they bought some collectible wine as an investment. Sure.
Buying wine as an investment sounds like a good way to end up with a bunch of really expensive vinegar
