Buckfast Tonic Wine (No Vintage)


Screw cap, took it off about 30 minutes before to bring in some air. Apparently made by monks in England. Decided to try while cooking dinner. Poured into a glass, first glance has a very inky almost brownish color that you see in older wines. Very syrupy, liquid clings to the side of the glass when swirled. Almost 15% ABV.


Stuck my nose in and was hit with something I've never experienced before. Barnyardy funk (in a bad way) almost like a dead animal in a bird's nest. A mix of flat Coca Cola and caramel with a whiff of gun metal.


On the palate, overwhelming sweetness and sugar. Cherry Cola mixed with Benadryl. Unlike anything I've tasted. I'm not sure what this liquid is but it is not wine, I'm actually not sure what it is but it tastes like something a doctor would prescribe. A chemical concoction of the highest degree. Can only compare it to a Four Loko.


Managed to make it through a couple small glasses but not much more. Has absolutely ruined the evening drinking-wise for me as I tried to drink a nice Bordeaux after but the iron-like metallic sweet aftertaste I just couldn't get out of my mouth even after a few glasses of water. I don't drink a lot of coffee regularly so I also have mild heart palpitations from the caffeine after just drinking a bit of this and feel a slight migraine.


An ungodly concoction made by seemingly godly men. I believe the Vatican needs to send an exorcist over to Buckfast Abbey as the devil's works are cleary present there. After tasting this "wine," the way I feel can only be described as akin to being under a bridge on one's knees orally pleasing a vagrant while simultaneously drinking liquified meth through a dirty rag.


I've drank a lot of wines in my life and will never forget this one.

Dirk diggler swears by it. Fake review for sure

Oh, aksherly

Chits,

How much Buckfast and Vimto do you put away in your shed every night?

I think Looper might need a roll eyes smile to get the sarcasm…


back on topic.

a rosemary and orange G&T

Dunno what's going on there, but it doesn't look good.

Well done for finding the review telling you Buckfast is disgusting though.

Quite a revelation.

Someone piss on your cornflakes this morning?

That does not follow from my post at all.

Now, if I'd mentioned GPS co-ordinates and fire bombing...

Depends on your level of comprehension.

But no, saying Buckfast is shyte and your drink doesn't look too good either does not indicate a bad mood.


Are you ever off here when not sleeping, btw?

The story is true about an undercover agent on the island organising a party to distract the Nazi officers, who is a main character in the movie. But in real life he was a white fella from England, not a Black African.

We get enough wokist box-ticking in regular fictional movies these days. There is no need for woke-washing historically based narratives.

How did the descendants of Richard Lippett feel to have their family member airbrushed out to satisfy 21st century left wing politics?

Don't knock Buckfast until you've tried it.

When was the last time you got pished from the feet up then had a royal rumble with all yer mates just for a laugh?

Goes well with valium...

Damn..if only it was available in Oz and valium wasn't considered a prescription drug. Then I could use it for its intended purposes of which there are many. Fucking nanny state Australia. A wee bit of valium for recreational purposes or just to take the edge of a bender. Meth is readily available yet they ignore the crackheads
Wtf

I've bought Buckfast in Oz before.

Buckfast 750ml - Beerstore

Looking forward to your review.

It's available BLD but at a price...

$84 for 3 bottles ($28 each) as an exclusive cultural import

Well beyond the fiscal means of the traditional homeless target market!

...or $30 a bottle from Dirk's dealer^

Fresh mint elevates it to another level.

I think i should buy myself a bottle for Xmas and drink myself clever. Oh wait I've already done that

I'd be more interested in Looper's 3 pack.

Maybe I should get 3 and give 2 away tis the season to be jolly

I was close:

The meaning of Bokbunja is:

Bun, meaning ‘chamber pot’


Ja, meaning ‘man’


Altogether, Bokbunja roughly translates to ‘man turning over the chamber pot’.


Korean black raspberry wine is known as bok bun ja. “Bok” means overturn, “bun” means urinal and “ja” means fruit. Roughly translated, the name means “the fruit that can overturn a urinal.” The unusual name comes from a Korean legend. An old monk lost his way in the mountains. He found some berries growing on a bush and ate all of them. The black raspberries helped the monk to find his way home. When he relieved himself, his urine stream was so strong that it broke the urinal.

And if you look just below it to the left, that is The South Korean version.

It’s called Bokbinja which roughly translates as “drink this shit and your piss will smash the toilet to pieces”.

Made from wild black raspberries.

Christ
The Koreans are a handful when there on the soju that stuff must send em nuts

I wonder if Vimto is available in Oz gonna need a mixer for my buckfast

No you don't, just stick it in the fridge.

Only drink it from the bottle.

It is customary to smash the bottle when you're done, but not before an attempt to peel off the label intact, for 10 cool points.
