You should go out and get you a bottle, Solomon.

Growing up in the projects, our next door neighbor use to drink it religiously.

I really loved Rollo's pronunciation of Beaujolais! Ghetto chick: "What IS this?" Rollo: " Booze-Yo-Lay!"

LOL - about the closest I ever got to "Ghetto Wine" was some crap called "Ruby Rouge" - a "red wine" that tasted like red wine vinegar, but because it sold for $1.50 a bottle, it was a good, cheap buzz for a Saturday night for teenagers! lol

I swear the taste lingered for days in your mouth afterwards too. I think if I ever were that desperate for a buzz again, I'd go with Aqua Velva.

Back in the late 60's I took a couple of swigs of Ripple. I never did buy it, but it was offered to me. It tasted like a bubbly Sangria or Port, as I recall. It tasted ok, I suppose. Not being a wine elitist, I've never really cared whether I was drinking the "correct" wine. I drink it if I like it.

Yeah, how about Cold Duck. I bought some just because i remembered hearing it on the show. It was terrible.

I beg to differ, cold duck is good. I think I am going to have to get some of that in the near future.

I saw another reference to Ripple on a 70s sitcom that surprised me a bit the other night

"The Jeffersons"

LOL

I never took the time out to find out what Ripple was really all about until I saw Rollo's look of Disgust.

We make the Fred Sanford’s very own hangover drink called “A Bloody Mess”.

It’s not tasty, but you might surprised to hear what it is!
