"I Think it Tastes Just Like PORT...  "
Maybe sitting oot on a summers nite sipping a port in the city square in Porto, i like the sound of that certainly. But a bottle of Bucky sittin in the pishin rain in George Square, not so appealing,, |

More caffine in bucky ml for ml than in a red bull.
Add synthetic alcohol add preservatives and call it 'tonic' wine.
Vile stuff, should be sold in plastic bottles to save NHS costs. |

Tastes somewhere between Jagermeister and Port. If you're not a fan of either then you probably won't like it. Imho due to the caffeine and sugar content it acts as more of a stimulant than a depressant - like tequila. Saying that though it completely depends on the person. Since the 'majority' of people that drink it are neds, it can often be attributed with traits of anger and aggression (not implying these are traits of neds).
Like I said the effects depend on the person. Combine any strong alcohol with high quantities of caffeine and sugar and you'll probably get the same effect.
Not the kind of drink for having a nice quiet night in by the fire. More for when you want to go out and "get mad with it". Just my opinion. |

"I just wonder if most folk were served a glass of well chilled Buckie, would they be able to tell what it is?"
Probably not but then again most normal people haven't tasted a poor fortified wine with added caffeine. I'd be very surprised if it came close to a good Shiraz and as for chilling it, you wouldn't need to do that if it was a good robust red would you, or are you saying its a bit of a girly Beaujolais nouveau? |

I quote Tim Atkin
"The temperature of the wine in your glass can have a marked impact on the way it smells and tastes. If you don't believe me, try the same wine first at 15C and then at 22C. The fruit and the perfume will be more pronounced in the former, while in the latter, the alcohol will leap out of the glass and the flavours will seem jammy and indistinct.
That's why I give most reds 20 minutes in the fridge at home before I open them, and some considerably more than that. How cool can you go? Especially if they are unoaked, 14C is no problem for lighter-bodied red grapes such as Pinot Noir, Gamay, Corvina, Tempranillo and Cabernet Franc." |

BUCKFAST POEM
Kids are laughing, drinking, flailing
Singing songs that sound like wailing.
Bottles full of deep dark wine
Their spirits high,
I’ll stick to mine.
Monastic clerics fortified this brew
In England’s south, they did construe
To make a wine, the world’s best
The Brothers grim
At their behest.
This vintage sold the world over
It’s been d*unk by king as well as drover.
A dreaded thought runs through the head
Two pints of this
And you’ll be dead.
A potent alcoholic potion
A hefty drink if you’ve the notion.
Now it’s d*unk by teens thought plucky
Their cheapest hit,
They call it Buckie |

"yOU WALK PAST A PUB AND SOMEONE IS OUTSIDE HOLDING A BLOODY HANKIE TO THIER NOSE/FACE.......AYE ITS 99% CERTAIN ITS BUCKIE RELATED."
Rubbish!!! So ban buckfast and all but 1% of alcohol related assaults will disappear, doubt it. |

I don't like the taste but my brother who is certainly not a Ned loves it and has never been violent or abusive in his life not even after 2 bottles of buckie |

Personally i've always thought the stuff tastes vile, but each to their own. We sell it in my work, but only by the shot/bomb and not glass or bottle like we do red and white wine-it's one of our most popular, which sursised me lol. |

Do not like the taste of the stuff.
Then again I have been tee total for a fair number if years a now
Nose bleeding into hankies outside pub!!!!!!!!!! As a retired bouncer this tends to be a trend more in line with a mixture of Blue WKD and a few snorts of the white powder. Man that stuff does evil things to the nostrils.
Seriously majority of fights in pubs and clubs are not necessary Buckfast related particularly as majority don't sell it inside their premises
ANY ALCOHOLIC beverage brings out the animal in majority of people. Mix it with the wrong look, someone staring at you in the pub or saying the wrong thing and POW we have a bitch fight.
Lets face it with alcohol in your system you may have Dutch courage and ready to battle with anyone but your timing, your aim etc is so askew its is simply hand bags at dawn and a bad bitch fight .
Nah Buckfast is vile but not a major contributor to mainline violence in pubs maybe on homes or in the street, which I would also contest, majority of fights I have witnessed are caused through pill popping or snorting the white stuff and not necessary good quality Coke |
