I admit I like wine myself and not necessarily expensive wines as you can find some decent Australian winer for about $15.00 a bottle. I will also tip back any beer except for American beer like Coors or Bud as they just don't have any kick to it. I like dark beers like Guiness or Brown Ale but I do like the Foster's Australian beer. I also love my rum and just about all hard liquor and liquers. So, I like just about any booze put in front of me. pitchfork

Well I hang around with quite a few musicians. Sometimes they want me to drink a lot when with them. I only do when it's xmas or any other reason to celebrate. I tolerate one ot two glasses or cans with em, but that's my limit. laugh. They just feel like partying all the time. Typical of guitar bands. laugh

I don't think good necessarily means expensive in this instance.

This here wasn't rotgut but, we drank it by the case during the weekends on base.

Liebfraumilch. I see it listed now at 30.00 a bottle. Back then, in '71, we got it for 2.00 a bottle.

Yeah... Liebfraumilch. Finally someone rang a bell for me.

And Debroi Harslevelu.

The real craze in South Ontario is to brew your own wine. Its cost is at around $4 a bottle ($8 Aussie, I think). The wine is good, and it's as good as you can make it. A friend of mine (now dead) made excellent wine.

I tried to brew beer in my house and failed. I mixed sucrose with alcohol yeast. The thing stank up my house for a week and my landlord brought in the marines to look for the corpses of several dozen cats. They found none. I stopped the experimenting.

To wit, I don't drink any more. I stopped in 1976, I think. I was on my way to becoming a binge drinker. When I drank I only stopped at physical collapse and loss of consciousness. The following day was spent with joyful bazooka-barfing and headaches.

Hang on to your breaches, I did not taste the friend's home brew wine. I smelled it. When you are a real good wino, you can smell good wine from bad. When you are an even better wino, you stop caring and drink both.

In Canada, Toronto, the lowest class wine was Ruby Red. It cost in 1984 $5 for a two-litre jug. (A bit more than half a gallon.)

That's the deal I'm lookin' at.
Fer sure get laid after feeding her a couple glasses of that stuff.
No Mickey D's though. If she spewed, that would be an artistic nightmare.

I drank that in Germany back in the 80s and it was good for its time but now my palette has somewhat changed so I don't much care for it anymore. I actually prefer a red wine now over a white.

What's the word? Thunderbird!

"The American Classic," Thuderbird is Vinted and bottled by E&J Gallo Winery, in in Modesto, CA. Disguised like Night Train, the label says that it is made by "Thunderbird, Ltd." If your taste buds are shot, and you need to get trashed with a quickness, then "T-bird" is the drink for you. Or, if you like to smell your hand after pumping gas, look no further than Thunderbird. As you drink on, the bird soars higher while you sink lower. The undisputed leader of the five in foulness of flavor, we highly discourage driking this ghastly mixture of unknown chemicals unless you really are a bum.

T-bird makes great flips.
Mix it with seven-up or sprite and a little more lime.
