I’m noticing a number of YouTube videos where various thugs, yobs, ne’er do wells, etc attempt to set a record in drinking an entire bottle of that stuff in just a few seconds.
Search Youtube for “Buckfast” for some frightening and sad societal commentary. Many are obviously just young kids.
I’m guessing that it’s much like Thunderbird or other “bum wines” here in the USA. Probably makes you go blind after a while.
It’s likened to quaffing eight cans of Coca-Cola along with a potent wine. The stuff was invented by monks, who doubtless sipped it sparingly with consummate Christian self control (how many monk wildings have you heard about lately?)
Being ignorant of such things, I Googled it;

All I can say is...*bleah!*.
I am now introduced to Buckfast fortified wine and “Ned culture”. Wonderful. This guy seems unlikely to last a Muslim. The violence part will be fine but the wino bit won’t cut it.
