Ripple is a wine from the bum-growing region of the US. The grapes used are of the glow-in-dark variety and grown on slopes facing such facilities as the nearest leaking nuclear power plant.
It comes in flavours ranging from repellent to emetic.
It tends to be favoured by connoisseurs of the coma.

Yeah, what he said.

In the movie "Top Secret", Val Kilmer orders some, and when it is poured into a glass, the glass dissolves.

Hey, both WIld rish Rose and Cisco are made just a empty bottles throw away from where I live. Does that make this area the Mecca of Bum Wine?

Speaking of quality fortified wines, anybody ever have Red Rocket? Or, it's more elusive cousin, White Rocket? I haven't seen it in years, and really only found it in convenience stores on the West Side of Cleveland. The stuff was foul--there was a half-assed attempt to add a little fruit flavor, but it was overpowered by the extremely chemical taste. And the "Red Wine" variety was glow in the dark red. The "White Wine" version was even worse, there was no attempt to mask the chemical taste.

However, when I first moved up here, and wasn't working, I could walk down to the store, drop a 10 spot, walk out with a bottle of the Rocket, a 12 of Black Label, a pack of generic smokes, and still have bus fare for the next day. Not that I was particularly functional the next day, or two.

As far as I know they do. Of course I haven't actively looked for the stuff in a long long time. I always bought boone's farm strawberry hill (I think that's the right name of it). Basically, a 40oz wine cooler that rewarded the unlucky consumer with a nice pounding headache after the fourth or fifth bottle.

I don't think that is made anymore. I'm having a hard time finding anything about it. I know its an old E&J Gallo wine but they don;t mention it at all on their website. I found a review site, but they too had no listed sellers. The search is on....

Good one Lemmy!! I choked on my turkey sandwich when I saw your new avatar.

Boones Farm is still around,
and in a multitude of new colors!
Most of the new colors however only contain a paltry 5% alcohol,
with a few exceptions.

In "sunny" Glasgow, the wine of choice for the pavement connoisseur is buckfast tonic wine. Made by the monks of Buckfast abbey.
