Night Train was the shit me and my friends used to drink when we weren't old enough to drink. We'd play three man all night and the first fukker to puke would lose and the game was over. Those were the days. Ahhhhhhhh...to be young, stupid, and in the ghetto. graemlins/cool_shades.gif

When I was in High School I use to drink Rose. I stopped because someone said it will turn you lips pink.

We used to pour a pack of kool-aid into Thunderbird. Cisco should be on a different level. It's actually liquid crack. The grape Mad Dog was actually pretty good. Where's Brass Monkey???

A LITTLE LICKA EDJAMACATION FOR YA...HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALL! graemlins/all_coholic.gif

Fortified wines are wines that have had additional alcohol added to raise their alcohol content. During fermentation, yeasts turn sugars into alcohol; when the alcohol content reaches about 8% to 12%, the yeasts are killed by the alcohol, so naturally-produced wines have maximum alcohol contents about 8% to 12%. Originally, fortified wines were made by adding brandy (distilled wine) to raise the alcohol content, so that the wines would not spoil during shipping.

The higher alcohol contents killed off bacteria and other organisims. Port and sherry wines are examples of high-quality fortified wines.
Low priced fortified wines often are produced by adding grain alcohol to low grade wine. They produce a high-potency product that often sells, in screw-top bottles, for between $1 and $2 per 375 ml bottle (about 12.5 ounces). This makes them a favorite of low income alcoholics and of youth, since they produce more intoxication for fewer dollars than just about any other type of alcoholic beverage. A number of cities have developed programs to remove cheap fortified wines from inner city stores, as a means of controlling "skid-row" alcoholics.

In Indiana, and many states, fortified wines are effectively limited to a maximum of 20% alcohol content by volume, thrrough the operation of tax and licensing laws. Indiana law defined "wine" as a beverage "...that does not contain 21% or more alcohol...." This means that if it carries a higher alcohol content it cannot be sold in grocery or convenience stores (which can sell only beer and wine) and it would be taxed at the much higher distilled spirits rates. The federal tax also jumps up for wines with an alcohol content above 20%.

Some of the common brands of cheap fortified wines have become pop-culture symbols, memorialized in verse, slang, and song:

Night Train "Express" (the pocket rocket)
Sold in 375 ml bottle, this apple flavored wine is popular with both street alcoholics and teen-agers.

MD20/20 (Mad Dog)
Mogen David Wineries developed this product several decades ago, and it has been a favorite of high school and college students ever since. College students recognize its above average potency and use it as a "quick drunk." It is produced in several flavors that resemble soda pop, including: "pink grapefruit," "wild berry," "Hawaiian blue," and "lightning creek," which make it more palatable to the tastes of "new drinkers."

Thunderbird - ("An American Classic")
Thunderbird was introduced immediately after the repeal of prohibition, by Ernest and Julio Gallo, as a means of gaining market share and becoming the "Campbell Soup company of the wine industry." It is a favorite seller in inner-city, "skid-row" retail outlets.

Richard's Wild Irish Rose
Another favorite seller in inner-city outlets and other places serving a low-income alcoholic clientele, Wild Irish Rose was immortalized in song by Neil Diamond. Diamond wrote Cracklin' Rosie to describe the relationship of an alcoholic to his wine, after a trip to an Indian reservation in Canada in 1970, where he saw the damage caused by cheap fortified wine sold to low income alcoholics. On the reservation, there were many more men than women, so on Saturday nights, those men left without a date made the wine their "woman for the night."


"Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile
God if it lasts for an hour, that's alright
We got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don't ask no questions, yeah

Oh, I love my Rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin Rose, you're a store-bought woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin' on..."

Growing up in my house I had the priviledge to have alcoholic relatives that loved the top shelf stuff. These types of wines remind me of our uncles that hung out on the corner with their bum friends. I wouldn't touch nothing that didn't seem glamorous. graemlins/rofl.gif

Here were my drinks of choice:

Grandma drank - Stoli, Bumpy Face (Seagrams Gin)&
Smirnoff Vodka

My Grandma Boyfriend drank - Johnny Walker Red, Jack Daniels

Mom drank - Reunite (in the 70's it wasn't that cheap)

Cousins drank - Jose Cuervo, wine coolers

No wonder by the time I reached my 30's I couldn't get drunk anymore. I became immuned to liquor graemlins/rofl.gif

We used to get cases and cases of forties and play that. It was pretty fun but hangovers get so much worse with age.
