LD for the win,only the (some) Scots will know about it especially Inverclyde lot.

When I was living there (nearly 40 years ago admittedly) it was indeed El Dorado that was the tipple of choice for the jakie connoisseur. Buckie was seen as being a bit "posh".

I think my aunt lived halfway down those steps in the Buckfast ad. Explains a lot.

Astonishing. ‘Is your life sh!t? Become an alcoholic – it’s great!’

You could probably use the same campaign to sell Prosecco these days

LD was stuff my folks talked about along with Thunderbird.

Then someone decided to revive it, not sure where it's sold, I've only ever seen the empties.

Part of the drinks market sector know collectively as 'Bum Wine'.

Thunderbird red label vs Thunderbird blue label- red pill or blue pill?, either way you eventually surface in a strange house, in a strange town.

a drink that frankly is like WKD blended with Ketamine, Domestos and undiluted Ribena.

I once bought a bottle of bourbon, a bottle of bleach and a bottle of wine.  At the checkout I quipped, "I'm making cocktails."  She looked genuinely horrified. 😁

There's plenty of sandwich boards outside pubs basically doing the same thing, only tongue-in-cheek (probably).

Ones I remember trying were Buckfast, Thunderbird, Night train (Express) and Mad dog 20/20.

Pretty sure you had to graduate from Merrydown Cider before scaling those heights.

I seem to recall one of the variants of MD 20/20 was claimed to have hallucinogenic properties...

Mad Dog 20/20 when combined with jellies caused much mayhem in my Galloway town, it certainly lived up to its name

We once had a cheese and wine party. My brother, classy as always, brought Buckfast and DairyLea Cheese Slices.
