Find what you like and drink it.

To hell with what anyone else thinks about it.

T.J. Swann was my go to wine in my youth.

Now it’s the gallon and a half jug of Livingston for $14.

[poconopundit]

Well done, Lee!   I guess there's something unAmerican about corked wine bottles : -) Besides, those funky plastic corks are an excuse to charge us an extra $3 a bottle.  Hurray for the screw top! How about celebrating with Andre Rieu and the Drink, Drink, Drink song from the Student Prince.

How about “Rosie in a skirt” (Wild Irish Rose in a brown paper bag).

[moovova]

Wife won’t let me drink anymore.

Bali Hai/Ripple Pagan Pink/Boones Farm Strawberry Hill.....Mmmmmmmmmm

We came of age on Cisco “wine coolers” in junior high and high school. Man, those were silly times. And I turned out just fine too.

For us who were teens in the 80s, it was Bartles & Jaymes and California Coolers. We dismissively called them "training beer" but the important fact was that girls loved them! We always made sure to have plenty on hand.

Congress killed the wine cooler in 1991 when they raised the excise tax on wine from $.17/gallon to $1.07. This led to the creation of malt beverages like Zima and all the crazy, sweet, skull-crushing hangover-inducing flavors.

I still have a bottle of Thunderbird, presented to me for some accomplishment in the early 70s.
Don't suppose it improved...

[Randy Larsen]

Add a little 7 up and you have a wine cooler. Problem solved.

MY fav back in the 70’s was TJ swan any flavor...

[BiggerTigger]

Whenever you get around to opening and sampling it, put it all on YouTube. They go crazy for that stuff.

"I preferred Night Train in my youth . . ."

Another demographic with low finances for alcohol are street bums. Night Train is only one of their preferred products.

To read a hilarious review of all the contenders for cheapo-wine, read the reviews at Bumwine.com. From that site's homepage:

Call them bum wines, street wines, fortified wines, wino wines, or twist-cap wines. Whatever you call these beverages for the economical drunkard, this page explores the top five. So curl up on a heating duct and enjoy...

Holy Cow! Jimmy Gilmer and The Fireballs are still performing! I had no idea they were still around: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fireballs

[lefty-lie-spy]

Yeah, Bartles and James, I remember that too. Sacramento, California. 1980s.

[Savage Beast]

No. I hate Fruity Wine with a Cap that Screws off.

I like dry wine with a cork.

[teeman8r]

I like the women who like that wine

[central_va]

I acquired a taste for those wines in college.

[Ueriah]

I just can’t enjoy wine. It always leaves me with a headache the next day. Oddly enough, I can drink single malt Scotch all night with no ill effects the next day.

Burgundy.
