 Ah yes, I remember it well. Bought a ticket for a ride on The Train after finals one night. And who, to my amazement, chose the seat next to mine......none other than Mr. T.J. Swan.
The scent of cat urine mixed with Ohio River water was thick as The Train pulled out. As Mr. Swan turned his ugly head and opened his mouth to introduce himself, a slight scent of kerosene (or was it benzene) filled my nostrils. This ends my travelogue as I can't remember what happened after that naked fat girl wearing fireman's boots twirling that rubber thing chased me up the down escalator. Thank you for your attention.

I am from Nova Scotia, Canada. I am a huge Guns N' Roses fan. They have a song called 'Nightrain' but we dont have Night train up here. One of my roomates is from the Carribean and brought me back a bottle. I still havent drank it but its going to be intresting. I typed in Night Train and hit "im feelin lucky" and this site came up. Great idea for a site and in about a week check my website becuase there should be pics of me 'on the nightrain'

Fantastic website that evokes the past with a strong emotional mix of trepidation and distant "good times". In the Philadelphia PA area, in the sixties, we also had similar genre wines under the names Tiger Rose and Silver Satin. I believe they were "tank car" wines bottled locally under these and other names. We look back with fondness but the realtime reality was anything but.

When I was in college and low on cash, we used to drink Mad Dog and Night Train on occcasion. We came up with a drink that was a mixture of Mountain Dew and Mad Dog. We called it Mad Mountain Dog Dew. It tasted palatable, but still killed you the next day.

   cisco has gotten less potent over the years and still i drink it.
i believe i cannot stop drinking it.
i am running out of outlets to purchase it.
what ever will i do if i cannot continue on my alcoholic journey toward a downward spiraling out of control
addiction to it.
please do not ever stop producing cisco.
my emotional values are already at a loss.
just because i think people do not like me does not mean that people do like me.

I see you guys are fairly new to Bum wines.Nearing 59 and my wine drinking daze were the 60's and early seventies.Here are some more classics from the past(maybe start a hall of fame):GalloPort/Tawny Port-Vincove-Zig Zag(zebra on label)-Rhythm-Gypsy Rose-Jive Seven(Jocko Henderson called it the wine that goes down the smoothest)
Thunderbird's sister wine,Twister and the indomitable Route66 which was a tough one to find even in the Bowery.South Pacific(Pineapple wine) which was wrapped in a yellow net like it came from the sea.The rarest though would have to be Calvin(white label with Calvin in red letters) which was only in quarts and sold for 85 cents.The original MD20/20 was a lot rougher than that flavored stuff they sell as MD now.Thunderbird is now sold in 2 alchohol vol.13%(green label)17%(red label).Still pop a pint now and then but not like the old days.Great site

The high (or low depending on one's perspective) spot of my youthful drinking was when some special event or holiday called for a "bash" party. Each person brought a pint of swill of their own choosing...T'bird, Ripple, Gypsy Rose, Wild Irish Rose, North American Five Star (aka Sneaky Pete)...and dumped it into a communal plastic barrel or tub. The 'Bird' and the Rosie twins were perennial favorites of our crowd. Then it was party hearty by partaking of this vile concoction that had more snap, crackle and pop than Rice Krispies. I still vividly remember one such event, a summer's eve party at one of the famous Hampton's beaches on Long Island (New York's) south shore. When I awoke the next morning all I could see strung out along the beach were male bodies in various stages of dress and various configurations of sprawl in the sand. The tide was coming in and some of the breaking waves were lapping at my friends' bodies. It reminded me of a scene from Normandy Beach on D-Day.

Boone's Farm is most definitely NOT a bum wine. In my day it was considered a wuss wine that females drank when they were with 'the boys' and wanted to show that they were drinkers too. Boone's was so weak that my friends and I used it on occasion as a beer chaser when the beer ran out or as a breakfast beverage on 'camping trips' (a.k.a. overnight drinking weekends in the woods of upstate NY).

Some additions to your list that I remember from my youth: North American Five Star ('street' name was "Sneaky Pete") and Gypsy Rose, the latter no doubt intended to be a worthy competitor to Wild Irish Rose. And of course Ripple but you already have that in your list of 'gone but not forgotten'.

 I think you can also catch ripple in TOP SECRET. It melts thru the wine glass. Though I'm not sure if it shows the bottle.

I boarded the Night Train one evening and I'll never take that ride again that's for sure. The worst hangover ever known to man greeted me the next morning.
I think it's called Night Train because the next morning you feel as if you've been run over by a train.
Love this site, funny as hell!

Great freakin' site! I laughed my ass off. I've had them all but Cisco was about the only one that turned me instantly psychotic. Freakin' INSTANTLY! Once was enough with that stuff. Ah, who knows? Maybe once more for old times sake! There was another bum wine here in Chicago back in the 70's called "Foxfire Plum Velvet." It tasted like prune syrup. You'd burp the taste for days, crap green even longer and the smell of your Foxfire farts could actually kill animals, old people and small children. There was only one place I ever bought it, a bar called "Hayes Family Affair Lounge." Good times!!

Once, at a typical East LA party, we ran out of beer. Being the poor bunch that we were, we scrounged up less than 5 bucks to make the last beer run. It turned out to be a NightTrain run, since it promised more bang for the buck. What a bad idea! The tipsy, light-headed, animated conviviality which we were all trying to preserve quickly turned into a surly, angry, stumbling, drunken fiasco with random puking around some poor dudes living room. I don't think we ever went back to his place. The intolerable, totally nasty Lord-Let-Me-Die hangover the next day turned me off that bum wine for good! And I'm crossing my fingers I have a few good years left in me so I don't have to start experimenting with the others on the list! Life's a bitch when you have to get cheap about yer next buzz, que no me pase a mi!

Cisco is by far the most powerful wine out there, Im a pretty big drunk and that sruff makes me want to jump off the roof, night train taste like old brake fluid, md 20/20 has the worst taste ever! it taste like old leather that has been pissed on and strained into a bottle.Thunderbird is nothing thta bad.

I laughed my ass off when i first came to this site a couple of years ago and always reccoemnd it to my friends. I am currently in the army and finsihing up atour in Iraq. I am looking forward to smapling some of these fortified concoctions when i return...Some of my friends and i have developed a desire to severley punish ourselves after a year here with no alchohol...LOL...But my time here has also allowed to track down some very interesting songs about Bum Wines...A classic by David Allen Coe called "Monkey David Wine" which is a blues creep about some hideous mind bending concoction which can only be 20/20....as well as a ZZ Top classic called "Thunderbird" which is about just what its title implies...
I have also had the pleasure of learning a lot about some of my soldiers while we have been deployed, including that one, before he enlisted, was an employee of the 20/20 winery in Westfield...and he can attest to everything said here about their products, though he ha snever seen the "Bling Bling"

 Thunderbird.. You too could someday find yorself waking up at 7am in the rain on someone's terrace, in a strange town, about two blocks from your friend's place. You wont figure that last part out right away, though.

It's not surpising that you didn't see much evidence of Buckfast consumption in London - it's in Scotland that the Buckfast flows steady. In some parts of glasgow, a bottle of bucky can be purchased for as little as ?3.80. True, this is still beyond the price range of many, but for the disderning bum there is no substitute.
I am intrigued by the serving suggestion given by Mr. McBuckfast in an earlier post. My own choice Bucky cocktail is the classic 'Buckfaster' - a combination of Buckfast, vodka, white cider (preferably 'Pulse')and a dash of cranberry.

I was very pleased to discover the mention of Buckfast on your web site. However, there are a few things you failed to mention. For one, Buckfast is also called Lurgan Champaigne, as the drink it by the champaigne bucket-full in Lurgan. Also, the term "tonic wine" does not imply "health giving properties." Furthermore, you failed to mention the very scientific method of determining the quality of Buckfast, namely the numbers on the bottle neck which indicate...well, no one is quite sure what they indicate but it always figures in the bum math process. Finally, you should mention the proper way to drink Buckfast which is this: get a pint glass, fill it half way with a a bottle of Red Bull, fill the rest with Buskfast. Tastes just like Coca Cola only it causes heart palpitations! Cheers!

 Your site has inspired me and a group of friends to hold an annual "Boone's Farm Competition" each Christmas night. This year marks our second annual competition. Boone's Farm isn't the top notch Bum Wine, but it's the best we could find here. Basically we start the competition when everyone has finished their Christmas family activities. Last years winner, Slade Bivens (pictured), took down 6 bottles of Boone's in a couple hours. As you can tell from the picture, Slade got quite bloated and ended up spending the night in his porch since he couldn't make it all the way inside. Who knows what this year will bring? Keep up the good work. We'll let you know if someone tops the seven bottle mark.....to be continued.

Are you guys fucking pussies? Seriously man. Are you like 12 year old geeks who weigh 70 pounds and can get plastered from a can of Bud? Me and my buddy found this site hilarious and on Halloween managed to get 2 375 mL bottles of Thunderbird each. We were scared thanks to the site but when we started drinking, goddamn that shit tasted good. Nothing as bad as you said it. And afterwards we split 3 St. Ides filling the last one with wine and vodka. AND THEN we drank a 40 of Olde English in McDonalds AND THEN we stole a bottle of St. Ides and Heineken. Woke up with a slight 3 hour hangover. No problem.
And just yesterday. We had 2 750 mL of Cisco. One was enough to get us trashed but we wanted to prove you liars wrong. And we're only 17 years old. We had 2 of the berry flavored. Then my buddy stole some good Polish beer called Harnas (LOL) and he stole a bottle of some disgusting Polish vodka. Both of my buddies puked... but not from the Cisco, they puked from the disgusting shitty Polish vodka. My buddy passed out on some guys porch and when we came back a half our later we woke his ass up and he calls his sister trying to get home and says the best line ever... "Hello... can you please... find me?" LOL
One of the greatest drinking experiences ever. We had enough alcohol to down a goddamn elephant and I still didn't wake up with a hangover. One of my friends did though. So in your face bumwine.com we had 2 big Ciscos each + vodka + beer...

Incredibly funny and informative website! Your site gave me a great idea what to bring for a cheap gift (under $5.00) to a Christmas party for the Yankee swap. It will be sure to get a good laugh, especially when gift wrapped in a fancy Scotch can. I found the last bottle of Thunderbird at the liquor store. Hard to find in my area. I was disappointed however it's only 13% alcohol, not 17% like on your site. Mad Dog is also only available in 13% too. No 18%.

 Hey man! EVERYWORD that you said about the wines in the web site is 100% TRUE! I grew up drinking ALL of them. Still love wine. The only difference is that I've move up in class. I only drink kosher wine now. Good for the body and the soul. I grew up in the hood [South Central L.A.] partying every minute of my life! Hey man LIVE web site. Props!!!

 A few years back a week before Christmas a friend of mine and myself were looking to celebrate the holidays and the end of school. We were planning to hit the bars and clubs but all of our friends were working. So while waiting for them, we decided to pre-game it. We decided to be cheap and buy wine instead of beer so all our money could be used for the night. We each bought a 750ml bottle of cisco. Came to like 4.89 with tax. I got the green apple and he got the red flavor. Tasted so good and went down so easy we downed the bottles in about an hour and half. A half hour later my friend and I were with about a group of 10 other friends at our first bar and me and my friend are just bombed, I think we had maybe a shot and a beer besides our cisco. What I remember next is my friend is playing golden tee and cussing at the top of his lungs every 5 seconds. I'm dancing like a spaz to Earth Wind and Fire's "September". Next thing I know I awake and my buddy and I had passed out that night in my cold as ice garage. That was the night of the 20th I believe and I felt better the morning of the 23rd. Thank God my buddy and I had a clear calendar. Word to the wise, buy cisco, you'll get smashed out of your wits but you will pay a 2 day hangover price. If I need cheap wine I stick to MD 20 20. You can drink 3 of them and never have the effects cisco will give you. I still cringe when I see cisco at the liquor store.

There was a bum in my town who slept ON TOP OF the liquor store. We'd give him one bottle out of every six pack he bought for us. The liquor store owner slept in a storage closet in the store. Those were also the days when you could buy single cigarettes (and clove cigarettes) at liquor stores. Funny how being fifteen and being a bum share so many similarities.

howdy, nice site. was wondering if any one wanted to do a trade. i cant get night train here in ireland, and ive heard you cant get absinthe in america, so here's the deal, if someone wants to do a straight swop, 2 large bottles of night train for a 250ml(naggan) bottle of black absinthe, just a reminder its 80% by vol\160 proof. or if any1 wants to make 20 quid, what ever the cost of the booze and postage plus the twenty quid tip, or offers. email etc.

Hey jsut wanted to post that Ripple used to be available in the Detriot area in the not so distant past. My odler brother and firends used to drink this pretty regularly when we were younger. I don't know if that is still the case but it was very very cheap.

I recall a wine that a friend of mine used to drink back in the late '80's. It was a cheap ass 24% red wine that had a picture of a clipper ship on the label. It was called "Bounty" and had a caption that read, " an exhilerating taste in adventure."
It really was anadventure everytime he drank the stuff. I don't think it is still available.

Great job, guys! I really enjoyed each page and appreciated the background info. I've been trying to find some Ripple for the last few years, obviously w/o success. Now at least I understand why.
If you're done w/ this subject, I suggest you try reviewing malt liquors. You'll probably find similar thrills...DaOvaSeea

Admittedly, I occasionaly indulge in a short-dog of Night Train when I'm night fishing

I have to agree with the poster who said you ought to do a Bumbeer site. I also have to agree that Steel Reserve is THE Bumbeer. First time I had it was in Las Vegas trying to come down from a "chemically-induced panic attack." Later I noticed that all the bums at Tacoland in San Antonio were bringing their own beer to the bar because they couldn't afford $1 beers. And what beer was that peeping out of the wet brown sack? Steele Reserve. I thought the alcohol content made that crap illegal in Texas.

There is a tradition blossoming at college campuses on the west coast: Bum Wine Wednesday (BWW). It's pretty self-explanatory: we get trashed on bum wine every wednesday night. I think it's growing as a tradition largely because no one can remember how horrible it was the next day. We've tried every variety but Cisco at Willamette (i don't think they carry it in oregon).
Great site. Maybe eventually we'll get a page.

 I was only recently saved by a very kind Christian soul who shared his MD 20/20 with me.
People-People-People!!! ... this is the real deal!
Praise the Lord! - and also please give kind thanks to the Rev. Al Blue for showing me the way!
He is preaching tomorrow - you should see him! He teached me to drink ... with much taste, dignity, and in reasonable moderation.

I just wanted to say that when I was attending college in boston the only liquor store that would accept our obviously fake ids was in one of the rougher parts of town Nicknamed the "combat zone". This is where I found nighttrain. That evening after drinking a flask full of vodka on the trip to and from the liquor store my buddies and I decided we were going to each drink an entire bottle (not the 375 it was whatever the next size up is) during one playing of the GNR song nighttrain. Well i accomplished that and woke up at 4 in the morning sleeping on the tile floor of my dorm room fully clothed, I don't know how I made it back. But then I proceded to puke my guts out in the trash can in my room. Either way I now live in L.A. and just walked to the liquor store and bought 4 bottles of cisco, i only have 3 left, and no i did not already drink one. When I walked out of the liquor store, bag in hand there was a homeless man asking for change "for a sandwich"(which explains why he was standing outside a liquor store). Since I paidn with a credit card and had no change, and was feeling flush i told him I had cisco what flavor did he like, his eyes lit up(no joke) "I love the green, that always wakes me up" so I gave him the bottle of green apple and walked away hearing "god bless" behind me. Knowing that I have done a good deed I think I'll reward myself, which will it be blue rasberry, black cherry........

I almost laughed myself into a nose bleed!! I grew up in South Central LA in the early mid 60's. I can't tell you how many bums I saw at a Liquor Store parking lot, total tilted on T-Bird, and Mad Dog. The saying was, "Hey youngblood, help a brutha out. Gimme fiddy cent for some Bird!..LOL
Thanks for the laughs..!!

Great site. Reminds me of 1989 when I saw Metallica (before they sucked) in Seattle. I was in high school then and had to rely on paying a bum $10 for whatever he brought out of the store. Bless his heart he bought MD 20/20 plum flavor. We just called it purple. Man that shit was gross but after the first two or three pulls from the bottle you forget about the nasty taste. Awww....memories.

Ripple isnt really a bumwine. Its a "pop" wine like Champale. It has less than 10% alcohol. It was also very sweet. I drank it when I was a kid

You left out an old favorite of DC-area bums - Gallo Muscatel. It tastes like old gym socks but at 18% packs a real kick, and can commonly be found in gallon quantities quite cheap. For your more social bums.

Buckfast is not consumed in London, it's biggest sales are in Scotland, where it is a medium bum Wine.
But I have to re-iterate the Original Bum Wine is----Eldorado Rich White Wine---- This is most popular in SCOTLAND.
Try abottle of this stuff and you will see the real effects fortified wine has on humans.

You should also do a page on bum beers. There are a great many. A lot of the street alchoholics that I have met strongly support steel reserve. It has a high alcho content and is cheap(around a dollar a can plus tax).Cheap whiskeys are also something to look into.

This was actually informative! I had often heard some of these brands spoken of disparagingly, but never understood the reason (I am a non-drinker) until now.
Anybody old enough to remember B&W TV might remember that sometime around 1960 Thunderbird wine had TV commercials with Cesaer Romero (originally a Latin Lover in B movies, later the Joker on TV's Batman) touting it, sitting in a posh tux with two or three gorgeous girls clustered around him. Years later my ears perked up when I heard the same wine spoken of as swill.

Wicked site guys. A wealth of information on such a widely underpublicised subject. In my country Mad Dog is the drink of choice for school kids on a freezing winters eve to numb the pain before rioting ensues. A good drink for upper class bums or students as we prefered to be called is Snakey B. Half pint of cider (white cider if you're feeling strong), halfpint lager (Carlsberg special brew if you're as strong as 10 men) and a shot of blackcurrant. know, chug as many as you can!

Man you gotta mention how the guns n' roses song nighttrain is entirely about it's namesake. "I'm on the nighttrain, I love that stuff. I'm on the night train I can never get enough"-Axl Rose
Sorry Axl I can't say I agree. Although I usually stick to cheap ($10 a handle) vodka and if I'm feeling flush ($15 a handle) whiskey. I've had the most experience with night train out of all the bum wines and I have to say it gets the job done.

Hi, My name is Robbie. I am a 22 year old white male born in a bungalo on a Indian Reservation so I thought nothing my friends could do to me would be weider than that until my bachlor party.
My friend and his wife decided to have it at the nicest golf course in town. I agreed and my soon to be wife thought hey, its at a golf course during the day what could happen.
My friend and his wife hired strippers to man the tees, and made a rule, everybody needed to drink one bottle of Night Train Express before you started the game!
The head pro golfer saw the cooler and told us that we couldn't use our own so we needed to use one from the pro shop! I guess he didn't know about the Train hidden inside.
After the third hole we all forgot about the golf and the strippers, who now were to scared to stip anyways.
My cousin and two friends took off down the highway in a golf cart and started to chase the grounds keeper in his golf cart, screaming Jesus we saw your movie and you suck. The grounds keeper had long hair and was tall and very skinny.
They came back, only to run over my cousin with the golf cart and break the window, my cousin was laying in their lap, head first.
My large beautiful friend took the windshield and walked up to the bridge and threw the pieces off into the river, in front of a wedding party. My cousin took the cart and two of my friends went jumping the tee boxes. After the third one, they rolled the cart.
Still no one else besides the groundskeeper has been called to get us off the golf course!!! Why who knows, they could have been scared!!!
My cousin then got another golf cart and took off with it. He then got this one stuck in the water hazard and tried to run and push it out, but fell about 2 feet to short. My very big beautiful friend pulled it out with one arm.
One of my other friends decided to go pee, in front of the club house where the wedding is going on at. Over the loud speaker we finally hear, "You, sir peeing the creek, the state police are coming for you." My pissing friend filp off the wedding party and started showing everybody at the party his hose.
My very very big beautiful friend called his wife for a ride for all of us.
I however took off driving in a mini van, going about 55 MPH in front of about 5 Police cars on the golf course. They finally caught up with me and asked me where I was going, being on the "Train" I said "to the store to get more beer." That didn't go ever very well.
The police took the van, the golf clubs, two of us and the Night Train Express Golf Classic Trophy.
My friends are still talking about another Night Train Golf Classic, if anybody would be willing to join you need to respond in this form.
Now I know what G and R were singing about!!!

They still sell Night Train in PA, you just have to purchase it in lower class neighborhoods. However, they do not sell Cisco, the true king of bum wines.

It was 26 years ago, and I still remember the poster ad for Night Train on the Chicago 'L'. It featured two men, one hiding a bottle behind his back, and the slogan "Night Train! So good, you won't wanna share it".
That's right, I'm gonna hide with this bottle and drink it all... by... my... SELF!

Currently, I've been in Iraq for the last few months and this site looks good, I'm ready for even bum wines myself. We can't have booze in this God forsaken place- funny, of all places to ban booze where they probably need it the most. Thanks for the humor, it was a great laugh.

Holy shiz-nit....we used to sneak MD 20/20 OJ into the movies in Okinawa Japan. This site made me go back to my childhood in Baltimore, MD. Although back in the day Boones Farm Strawberry Hill was the choice drink with a lil weed smokin' on the side...lol. Fuuny how certain sh*t takes you back in time.
