I used to actually like that one... and Cold Duck, I forgot about Cold Duck, heh
I’d like to say I drank more wine in the 70’s than any modern wine critic...
...they all had a screw on cap though, and if you got the ones in the wicker they made a fine candle holder afterwards that you could impress the ladies with!
Andre Cold Duck was the “champagne” preferred by go-go girls, barflies and b-drinkers in the disco days.
A b-drinker, if ya don’t know, was a girl who had an “arrangement” with the bar’s management. She’d get guys to buy her overpriced drinks, and she’d get a kickback of about a dollar per drink.
A bottle of “champagne” ($2 cold duck) on the other hand, would sell for about $25, and she’d get a $5 or $10 “commission.”
Of course, the clueless dude assumed the girl was getting drunk, and would go home with him and fork his brains out. In fact, the feckless fellow was the one getting so snockered, he never even noticed the girl tipping the drinks into the nearby potted plant.
The cold duck itself tastes like fermented Seven-Up. Mix it half and half with orange juice to make a drink called a mimosa. Pretty tasty, actually.
