Specifically Buckfast. I’ve found places mail-ordering it in the UK and EU, but not to the States. I’ve looked about a little bit and it seems like it’s too foreign for shitty liquor stores, but too shitty for good importers.
Bad wine #2 is Night Train, of Guns n Roses fame. Do I just go to shady liquor stores and hope, or is there some other way?
I’ve seen Night Train and (What’s the word?) Thunderbird mainly at neighborhood beer depots/liquor stores, I don’t think you’d find it at the local grocery store.
Your best luck would probably be visiting those shady liquor stores that have everything, even the candy, behind bulletproof glass where you have to talk to the guy through a speaker to ask for your $2.00 fifth of Fleischmann’s or whatever.
Way back 18 yr ol’ elelle advises. You’d do better to mix Everclear and Strawberry Kool-Aid, at fraction of the cost, with the same awful effect.
The Night Train will heave your guts into yond, and leave a pounding pounding pounding headache. That romantic graphic on the label isn’t a journey into uncharted mental territory; it’s a warning of the nonstop engine that will run right through your entire being the next day, pounding pounding pounding…rat-atchach rat-atchach rat-atchach, over and over and over, until the bright light of day breaks your foggy mind spell, and that light really hurts, bad. You wonder why you were ever born…
