Try downing (2) 750ml's of Night Train. MD is only 13% and NT is 19% (regardless of what the bottle says). Belushi himself couldn't knock out (2) bottles of NT and still walk right.

My first experience with Cisco lead to a fist fight filled night and a waist-down naked ride on the hood of a strangers car down an interstate for 3 miles. I can handle my drink but this stuff hit me hard. I wouldn't recommend drinking this crap unless you are in a padded room with a straight jacket near by. Don't drink this with your good friends, they won't be your friends the next day.

Alright you low life morons.
Your commentary on MD 20/20 is off the
wall-First off MD does NOT mean Mogen
David altough the wines are indeed
produced on the same premises-
Secondly,the wine is of high quality
grapes and is pure in nature. MD 20/20's
name was derived in 1969 and was to mean MD 20 % alcohol for the 20th
century-The wine has also be called
Dr Vision by some asstitute drinkers.
Please retract your henous remarks as
they are untrue to say the leat

I only have a few "favorites" on my website but this is one of them. Damn straight! Hell, how could Bum Wines NOT be a freakin' favorite website?! Here's what I say on my site:
'BUM WINES! WOO HOO! In no particular order, Mad Dog, Cisco, Wild Eye, T-Bird and Night Train Express, the Axis of Evil of cheap, high-test wines. To quote the Bum Wines site, "Call them bum wines, street wines, fortified wines, wino wines, or twist-cap wines.Whatever you call these beverages for the economical drunkard, this page explores the top five. So curl up on a heating duct and enjoy..." I mean, they're all semi-toxic but Dude, Cisco should be a controlled substance. Seriously. Want to get vomit-in-your-hat, soil-your-pants drunk as quickly and economically as possible? You've come to the right place to read the exploits of those who do! Click on the link. Visit their guestbook. Enjoy!'
If you've got some time to kill after you get done reading everything HERE, take a look at my website too. I've got some motorcycle stories and stuff there you might like. And Dude, if you find any dusty, old bottles of Foxfire Plum Velvet wine, PLEASE let me know!!!!!!!

being broke as hell in college, one gets tired of drinking foul cheap-o beer and demoralizing malt drinks. it was a while ago, walking through a general store, when my eyes alighted on those wonderfully colorful bottles of mad dog.
i realized there could be nothing natural about that kind of coloration, and after a night spent with it, my heart and liver were stolen for life. ambrosia watered down with cough syrup and cheap juice.
my favorite part is the horrified look on my friends' faces when they see the bottle, and after sampling a bit, their equally mortified reaction.

In the sixties my life was a blur. Drinking rot gut Ripple, the taste was so bad you had to either chug it or hold your nose to avoid the nasty taste. Even in my hard core drinking days I always had trouble with Ripple. They called it Ripple for a reason, the ripple effect of drunken insanity. I am so lucky I never killed anyone or maimed my self.
When I had extra money I would drink Richards Wild Irish Rose. That's the only wine I blacked out on. I always called Richards the DICK, for the dance it would do on your head. I tried T-Bird once, but I puked before it hit my stomach.
Thank God I am sober today, and able to laugh.

I've been a fan of bum wines long before I could even find them in the stores. Something about the novelty and danger creates an excitement while drinking. I go to school in Baltimore and have recently stumbled upon a gold mine where these wines are sold. Well, it wasn't that hard; it's Baltimore. I've been drinking multiple Mad Dogs a night during the past few weekends, no problems. Maybe because it's that 13% shit. However, last night I downed a 750ml of Cisco, smoked a spliff, and had two beers on top of that. I felt fine the whole night, nothing unusual. But what's weird is, I only got 8 hours of sleep last night, and I feel alive and well right now, despite what everyone says about a ridiculous hangover. I actually think the stuff is quite delicious. Anyway, Wild Irish Rose is next weekend, followed by Thunderbird the weekend thereafter. Cheers, my fellow future bums!

I am really appalled at your collective taste in wine. I am a professional panhandler/intersection impressario in Atlanta, and my associates and I prefer to sate our educated palates with expensive imported French wine.
Only when the pickings are extremely thin, do we nightcap with bum wine. On those sad nights, Thunderbird is our beverage of choice.

Night IMO is far & away THE best wine on the market. Why anyone idiot would spend much dinero on a bottle of MUCH weaker rotten grape juice when he could simply purchase a 750ml of God's gift to man - Night Train (which has helluva lot more kick) is beyond me. In all seriousness (?) there is legit science which attests to irrefuteable fact that wine consumption improves the drinkers health. Too bad its so expensive to live in Paris, otherwise I'd be compre'ing the france' and getting layed by some hot bbw french chick(s). Drink Bum Wine bros!!!

Great site! My all time favorite has to be Pink Pussycat. Drank it when I was in Vista in Milwaukee in the early '70s. After a few bottles one night I parked my Lincoln Continental with the suicide doors precisely in the middle of the street in front of the house we Vista volunteers were sharing. And the great Rufus Thomas even wrote an ode to Pink Pussycat. Well worth hearing!

I bought a bottle of 18% Wild I last night after class. Tastewise its actually better than alot of "real" wines. Along with the 18% alcohol, that makes it the most efficient way to saturate your brain in ethanol and God knows what else. After the buzz has faded you'll still feel a numbness between your ears that persists into the next day.
I can definately see the appeal of this stuff to someone who wants to escape reality. Here in KY you have to have a liquor license to sell wine so most bums drink malt instead because its available at any convenience store.

I've been drinking Night Train since high school back in the mid-80's. When I moved to my current city 15 years ago, no one here had even heard of it (including the liquor store). They ordered it for me and now with the help of a few friends, we go through as much as 8 bottles on a Saturday night. The big bottle is now $2.99- not bad, considering it was only $1 cheaper in 1985. Gets right on top of the inexperienced- but I've been giving it the necessary respect it deserves for 25 years. ALL ABOARD!

Its so good tht I ws able to find MD 20/20 online. I really wanted it for my upcoming B-DAY, but I guess am unable to locate any here on the island of Kauai, so I guess I will miss it til I can get some here. It takes me back to the 70's my first experience away from the islands, and living in Southern Cali, met alot of good people, from all walks of life, they were good to me, and we jus so happened to like the so called bumwine, yes it has to be very much chilled really good, b4 drinking and it hits the spot, but its a nice warm feeling to jus relax sometimes, ending a days work with it also. We all have our own reasons to enjoy it but from wht I see all loves the taste of it and gives them tht feeling they want so thts the main thing right!!! Aloha U all, and keep on enjoying, jus b careful, and another thing, I'd like to get a list of the different flavors if possible!! I see theres more new flavors :) :)MD 20/20 IS THE BOMB!!!

Favorite: MD 20/20 Kiwi Lemon |
This stuff I would say is by far the best bum wine I have ever had the misfortune of consuming. It was absolutely stellar compared to any other class of cheap liquor such as malt liquors (Old English 800 for example...Shiver) or hard liquor (Such as Early Times bourbon or Popov vodka, which are both poor alternatives to turpentine). It also beat out my mother?s various Gallo jug selections. I was actually able to delude myself that it was almost pleasant until I got drunk enough on it that it genuinely became so. At about 13 or 14 years of age, I honestly was able to consume a standard sized bottle of MD 20/20's Kiwi Lemon flavor in under a minute; and that's saying something about an alcoholic beverages "smoothness", whether it be a high quality, or a very, very, low quality alcoholic beverage.

For Christmas I made up some Bum Care Packages of a short dog of Wild Irish Rose, a sandwich of egg & cheese with bacon and a $5.00 bill. Put on my old Pea Coat and gave out about 10 of these fine gifts to the local gentry. It made their day a bit brighter and celebrated Christmas in a manner they appreciated. Not a huge gift in the world but one that made some downtrodden happy. Seemed the right thing to do. Hell the pleasure I get watching one of them mess with a rent-a-cop was well worth the time and effort of making up the bags.

In the Navy many years ago, I experienced my first bout with the evil twin 20 20. A friend and I had picked up about 6 bottles of the shit and headed out into the Virginia woods to get wrecked. I remember crawling around in a circle for a while, then managing to get up on our feet. Harry was confronted by the police on our stumble back to the boat, and was beaten half to death. I don't think he felt a thing cause he was growling all the way down. I had blue stained lips and gums for a week. Such fond memories.

I remember way back in the '80s when I drank a couple of T-Bird 750s, tried to stagger home, and passed out in the cemetery. I still had the second bottle in my drunken, shaky hands. I found a nice tombstone that was big enough, and not facing the roadway in said cemetery. This was so the cops wouldn't roust me. I woke up at the crack of dawn, and felt like death. This seemed fitting since I passed out in a graveyard.
Oh well, for $1.89 a bottle, who could go wrong, Right?
Let me tell you that that was the last time I imbibed in Thunderbird.
Now I just stick to malt liquor.
Merry Christmas!

We had a bum wine party! We only allowed the 5 on the site. I think the bottle of Wild Irish Rose we bought was really old because it had the old label. Everyone got really sick. Thunderbird packs quite a punch, but Wild Irish Rose was the nastiest (perhaps because it was super old). Thanks!

Many years ago, here in England my brother introduced me to "Thunderbird". I think he thought it was a bit sophisticated. In England the equivalent ?bum liquor? Would be ?Special Brew?, comes in a tin, is cheap and work fast, tastes awful though, so drink it up quick??

Love your site. Anyone try Kelly's wine by Beau Chatel Wines--is high-end bum wine at $9.45 a litre; however, it still knocked my friend out when I dared him to drink it during my Grey Cup party. The tagline says it all: An easy sipping wine with a touch of the Old Blarney. Ireland and wine--not an obvious association but, I guess drunks and Ireland is the idea. It's a tradition for me to pick up a bum wine and get this guy to pour one down his sewer. Try this if you don't feel like socializing at a party--no one will hold it against you.

Use to wonder if Thunderbird was a real wine when I heard Billy Joe Shaver singing about it. Thanks for the info and I'll discourage my natural curiosity about trying some Thunderbird.

NC is not a place where bumwines are commonly found, but I came across a place that sells Wild Irish Rose today. I wanted to buy it, so I picked it up off the bottom shelf. I stared at it for a moment, then put it back down. It felt evil in my hands. It felt like I was cradling The Dark Side of the Force in my arms like a baby. Make no mistake: Wild I' EXUDES EVIL ENERGY.

Favorite: Mad Dog |
The first time I ever got completely wasted was definitely from a night of Mad Dog. I was in 8th grade, and drank the better part of a bottle at a party. Naturally I don''t remember this part but later I found out that I climbed a two story straight staircase, went to the top and faced down, spread my arms and proclaimed "I am Jesus, Any Questions"? I subsequently took a tumble down the whole flight of stairs and broke my shit. Brings back good memories.

Way back in the '80s when I was younger but not necessarily dumber, I drank a couple of 750s of Thunderbird, and passed out in a cemetery on my blind-stagger home. It seemed appropriate because I felt like death when I woke up. Silly me!

A few memories from the 1970s: Twister - another one of the bum wines of the past. Green bottle with a candy cane stripe on the label. I also remember Ripple with their textured bottle - (easier to hold onto while plastered), I always liked the name of their "Pagan Pink" wine. MD 20/20 (only one flavor back then) always known as "Mad Dog" - it's syrupy sweetness that always reminded me of Robitussin - it's the Kosher Bum Wine!
Cheers!

Anyone know what was in Tango? Orange was the local favorite of the underage drinkers in early 1970's, but may have come in other flavors (colors?) as well.Internet search providing only speculations-vodka? wine? rum? but no definitive answers-
Anyways, love the site. Brings back memories of working in an old building that was being renovated in downtown Utica, NY. Every morning there was a new collection of MD, Train and T-bird empties, and would be greeted in the parking lot by the gentlemen who had emptied them the previous night, they'd ask me for change, I'd give them a dime, and they would always bless me, and drift off down LaFayette St.....

Irish Rose made me want to fight a motherfucker. I resisted the urge because at 3 o'clock in the afternoon the only person in the vicinity was my lovely wife. She didn't deserve the consequences of my daydrunk bumwine binge, so I took it out on the cat. Tough to eat dry food with a broken kittyjaw. Maybe he'll lose some weight. You guys are funny as hell. Keep up the good work. Maybe a foray into cheap ass liquor reviews? Old Crow whiskey is a love/hate favorite of mine...

I'm in Canada. I've been into sherry lately. Consequently this has exposed me to the bottom shelf of that section.
I found Brights Pale Dry Select today. it cost seven dollars. You can get 2 litres for . . . 14 dollars. When I saw it on this site, I thought, hey, it can't be that bad. Vincor makes some pretty decent cheap shit, like Sola Nero and so forth.
Man, this stuff is godawful. I seriously don't see how any bum could drink it. Oh yeah, the first second is great--it almost tastes like a drinkable cheap sherry. But no. The back end is ALL CORN SYRUP. It's not DRY at all. This is outrageous. I'd expect this corn taste in cheap beer but not bum wine.
Brights Pale Dry Select has got to be the worst drink ever created by anyone. If you see a bum drinking it, take it away and give him a bottle of something else. Nobody deserves this. It is cruel and unusual punishment.

The only one of these I have tried is MD 20/20, which I drank a bit in college. I've heard that Wild Irish Rose is supposed to be fairly good--the red kind allegedly tastes vaguely like, well, red wine.
Still, for me, nothing beats cheap vodka and grapefruit juice. It goes down nice and smooth, and can help get the taste of weed out of your mouth if you've been smoking too much dope.

This website is funny to me. I've drank all of the stated wines back when I was in highschool. I always leaned towards Wild Irish Rose in the end. Maybe it was because of the sale they used to run making it 2 bucks a bottle. Maybe it was the fact that one bottle of wine got me completely shitfaced. Drinking Wild Irish Rose, I never woke up the next morning feeling okay. There are consequences to drinking that stuff. But I think drinking all of these wines is part of growing up. As a kid you need to drink a bottle of these to really appreciate good booze.

I ran into the devil herself at a Wal-Mart in western Virginia while attending the Bristol NASCAR night race in August 2009. Her name is LONGHORN. She is 21% alcohol, $2.99 a bottle and packs one mean punch! She is nastier than Cisco and when added to a campfire, shoots off some amazing flames and orbs!!! As one bum wine drinker commented: Look at those flames...and we drink this sh!t?!?!?!

Diggin' the Andre slummin' with the Bumwine in the "where to buy" photo.
Back in the 80s a former friend and I used to enhance our bumwine experience by pairing it with complementary tuneage. When we drank Thunderbird, the night's soundtrack consisted of ZZ Top's Fandango. One night we went rode the Night Train, with the soundtrack being Guns N' Roses Appetite For Destruction. After imbibing about 500ml each, we convened at the local Del Taco (outskirts of Chino, near the correctional facility) where we were subjected to mucho hostility from the sexagenarian prude attending to the drive-thru public address system. We tolerated her disgust, placed our order and pulled up to the window to pick up our sumptuous, albeit soon to be temporary, feast of spicy chicken burritos and macho nachos. The woman glared at us as she took our money and handed over the bounty of melty processed cheese and mystery meat. Overcome with the headspins I flapped my lips in silence- my brain failing to register my usually reliable linguistic motor skills - as I attempted to request additional packets of hot sauce. The lady squinted her eyes, glared at me and my partner in the toxic arts and screamed "WHAT!" In a brief, inexplicable moment of lucidity I blurted out "Jesus loves you . . . and drink Night Train!"

Favorite: Mad Dog 20/20 |
I can attest to the warming quality of Mad Dog. It's getting cold out and so I cracked open a bottle of MD and it warmed me up real good. It's more like it makes you feel warmer internally and numbs your extremities to the cold. I can see why the homeless like it. taste-wise it's not that bad either.
GO MAD DOG!!!!!

In Canada we also have canadian dry. Cheapest wine in Vancouver at $6.50/bottle (It's hard being a drunk around here! Most bums just pay people to shoplift their liquors) and its 23%. I tried to finish a bottle, not knowing what it was but wanting the most bang for my buck one broke evening. It tastes very much like cough syrup going down and coming up.

Great Site!
My cohorts and I have been doing research on this subject since the mid 80s. Two liquid Lobottamizers that no long appear on the Bum wine menue are Cannon 21, and Jokers Wild. I can find no info on the internet, "should have saved a bottle". The Cannon came in at a mean 21% and the Joker a close 19%.The customs and etiquette that go along with our flirtations with the Train are to many to list. My sister still drinks MD20/20 spritzers, you can dress them up and put them in a nice house but they still have a taste for the ghetto.
Thanks For The Laugh

I used to drink MD 20/20 "Red Grape Wine" (at 18% ABV) but now all I can find is the wimpy "Red Grape" version and the other obnoxious-sounding flavors (also at the wimpy 13% ABV.)
Where did my old friend go? I drank it like a fiend. Now I drink Wild Irish Rose "Wild Green Apple" flavor. It's OK, but I wish the REAL Mad Dog would back come home to me!

This great source-site takes me fondly back to outback Australia where flagons of thrifty port wine were dispensed to Aboriginal people from huge warehouses adjacent to lonesome little pubs surrounded by seemingly unpopulated outback bushlands. I'm looking to find Australia's Seppelt's Royal Purple Port in the flagon, or Sedna tonic wine, the ONLY wine available Sundays and after-hours from chemist shops (drug stores).
