Great site!
After a run in with White Ace in England I found you. Just to clarify, Boone's Farm is not a bum wine indeed, rather it's infamous use in the US is for teenage boys to lure the panties off of teenage girls. It was the first liquor I ever got drunk on, and most of my friends too. Cheaper and more portable than a 12 pack of beer, you see.
Cheers!

Thank you for a quite informative website. While I have the great fortune of never having been homeless nor even unemployed, my beverage of choice during the evening has always been a fine Cabernet. My private colletion consist primarily of lateral late 90's Washington Pinot Noirs' and is strong on botique Cabernet Francs from Sonoma as well as Australian Petit Syrah.
One evening after inviting and old friend over to dinner, a gentleman whom had experienced past struggles with alcoholism and unemployment, he pulled out a bottle of something called "Cisco" to go with our late evening cigar. Perhaps the bottles of 2000 Opus One that we had just finished may have contributed to my mis-understanding of what this liquid was. It was simply called "Red". I remember the first experience with that peculiar aroma of perhaps, diesel fuel. After the fuel forward this "wine" replaced any tannic feel with the lava like fuel and fire burning of my palate, nostrils and throat. I almost imediately felt euphoric and warm inside. One of the last things I remember was questioning my guest as to why he could not stop laughing.
I woke up two days later in a prison hospital bed after having my stomach pumped, twice and having mildly slipped into an alcohol induced coma. Apparently I had totalled my BMW in a single vehicle high speed accident less than a mile from my home, and to this day I do not ever recall getting behind the wheel. Fortunatly the DA dropped charges as no one was injured (thank God) and they ae still looking for my "old buddy, Paul". Apparently Paul talked me into opening my safe and made off with several hundred thousands of dollar in cash, attempted to become amorous with my wife and 15 year old daughter. We believe that he may have achieved his less than honorable intent with our daughter and
have been assured that with continued therapy, healing will eventually be possible at the end of a very long road of support.The most horrible lingering event was that when he left in my wife Lexus he obviously did not know that our family dog Rusty that had been with us for 16 years, always used to sleep behind her car. May Rusty RIP and god bless his soul. If they never find the car, nothing can replace poor Rusty. We just pray that he wasn't awake when it happened...
I never got the got damned jack-hammered in my life and never will again attempt to make myself feel like a better person, by helping the homeless and less fortunate.
What is in Cisco?

I used to work for a wine wholesaler that sold Cisco,Wild I, and MD. Tried both Cisco and MD, and just as soon drink Drano mixed with Clorox. We would substitute Wild I for floor cleaner. As sure as I'm sitting here,the Wild I got the floor cleaner.

They have eleven flavors of

Man I loved the ThurderBird a kid from the 70's. We put Greatfruit Juice in owrs.I also heard that guts from Nam War era would also put Peanuts in with the Grapefruit juice and shake it up.They called it the "Shake Em". It always left that white stuff in the corners of your mouth for the next morning. The smell from your breath will give a mothersucker a home perm if they were to close to the mouth area. A real winner in the Hood.

For the serious Bum Wine enthusiast, you gotta try Donkey Punch from the nice folkes at Sweet Water Brewery in Atlanta. They call it a Barley wine, but make no mistake, the warning on the label is to be taken seriously, WATCH OUT for the kick to the back of your head on this one. It's a sure Winner TRUST ME!

I worked at a convience store in Charolettesville Virginia. (There are no loitering laws, so the place is a bum heaven.)
Anyway, they bought a lot more Steel Reserve and Keystone than any bum wine. But, if they managed to save the cash to splash on something "nice" They always went with Wild Irish Rose. The were generally funny people to talk to though. Trashed all day.

Me and my boy just bought Cisco Green Apple and it tastes so damn nasty . It doesn't even taste like a green apple. There is also a Wild Irish Rose Green Apple flavor. Still by far the nastiest is MD2020 Lemon Ice. That is the worse shit. I said this before. Imagine putting a lemon scented car air freshner in your mouth and drinking ice cold water. New drink for people who like oranges. 99 oranges rum, barcardi O, Absolut citrus, Alize(original), MD2020 Orange Jubilee, Budweiser and Orange soda and everclear. Check me and my boy out on youtube. Put lostsoulbb in the search engine and watch us make cheap drinks and chug 40oz.
Peace. Mike

Got to second the ATLANTA comment. This has to be the most screwed up, nasty place in the country. I don't know if they are just regional or what, but we have (I guess they are still out there) a few of the high octain wines that I didn't see mentioned: King Cotton, WIld Russian Vania, & a few more. My teenage favorite though was Bali Hai, a kind of pinkish fruity catawba goo - with the novel feature of a gen-u-wine bluging lip arount the neck of the bottle so it wouldn't slip through your hand.

A couple of weeks ago, at my birthday party, a guy I know showed up with his ever-present bottle of Mad Dog. This guy is, I would say, at least 300 pounds. Actually, he had more than a bottle; he had a Gatorade jug and a water bottle full - which means he was violating the cardinal rule of "serve very cold."
Despite his bulk, this stuff put him into a catatonic state well within an hour. He couldn't speak English, and sang the Star-Spangled Banner when he tried to sing me Happy Birthday. Eventually he puked up a lake in the driveway, redecorated the bathroom floor (with Mad Dog purple), and puked again while on my couch...thankfully he's big enough that none of it got on my couch, but stayed on his gut. I ended up vacuuming him clean...good times.

What about Spanada? Back in high school (mid-late 80's for me) this stuff was $.99 a bottle and tasted like Koolaid. Later found out Gallo actually mixed the wine with fruit juice. A great and cheap way to tie one on when I was in high school. I don't think it's made any more.

I don't know how Atlanta, GA did not make it onto the pole question of 'which city has the most grizzled bums'. Atlanta has a reputation of being a dirty city.It by far has the largest amount of bums of any big city behind NYC. I go to Georgia State University in downtown Atlanta, and we have a park on campus affectionately referred to as 'bum park'. Daily I walk by there and see bums covered in newspaper with an empty bottle of md 20/20 layin beside them, or sometimes diggin through the trashcans for lunch. The whole city smells like piss

Ah, yes!!! Who needs illegal drugs when bum wines abound?!?!?
As one who has tried all of the "fearsome five" I can honestly say that Wild Irish Rose White is my gut-bomb of choice. All the alcohol content of Mad Dog without the pretentious flavoring. Yes, Wild Irish Rose and a sack of White Castles! What more can be said? That's what happiness is!
BTW, the warnings about Cisco are absolutely valid! A bottle and a half had me running full on nude through the worst section of Orlando! Bottoms up!

I remember in high school my mom hired my best friend and I to dress up and tend bar at a "cheap wine tasting". We served all these wines except Cisco, plus we also had something called "Scuppernong" and "Triple Peach". We only had one real taker. He downed at least one glass of everything. He took off after the opening to see a ballet at the Kennedy Center. We found out later that they had to pull the car over on the way there so he could puke by the side of the road. I bet he really enjoyed that "Swan Lake".

Someone bought a bottle of wine called "Mr. Dude" which tasted pretty rotten but it got us loaded (especially with the Busch beer chaser  ) If anyone has ever heard of this or if you can still buy it please email me at budbird08the2nd@aol.com. The bottle had a picture of a pimp hat on it with a big feather in it - Thanks in advance!

Mad Dog wine led to me being arrested with a BAC of .27 when I was 18 years old. I think the true mark of a bumwine is not only the level of affection bums have for it, but the wine's capability to turn you into a bum if you're not one. Mad Dog certainly gave it a good shot.

Back when I was in college, tired of having to actually drink and taste the Mad Dog before it got me drunk, I invented a new method of imbibing it: funneling.
Yes that's right - the beer funnel (or bong) and replace the beer with a bottle of Mad Dog. Zero to wasted in 20 seconds and all you get is that sweet Mad Dog after taste and a warm belly.

Night Train is not that bad, either that, or my taste buds were affected on contact. The first time I tried it, I only felt a little drunk after drinking a whole small bottle by myself (I'm actually pretty petite 5'1, 110 lbs.). I even had carrot cake with it. To my surprise, I threw-up the cake the next morning. Night Train is the reason I so despise carrot cake. For my 21 b-day, I received a bottle of night train from my broke best friend.

In 1988 a friend took me by a bootlegger to buy some Sunday beer. The bootlegger was out of beer so we opted for a bottle of Thinderbird warm. About 1 hour later I wrecked my mustang! Go figure.

Night Train is responsible for me running headfirst into the bathroom door and knocking my tooth. With a gaping hole in my mouth I continued to nurse my hurt with another bottle of the vile concoction and preceded to take a machete to the walls. GOod times..

AND i must say, both, are 2 of the best!!!! and well done "bumwine.com" you have successfully described, to the "T" exactly how all of these "bum wines" make most people feel!! :) :) :)

This website is clearly the work of a great man. I dont care if you've been there, if you simply want/wish to be there, of if you just have a passion and love for all that is the Bum Wime.
Had I thought of exposing the world to A select group of complex, subtle, and culturally essential collection of wines I would have preceeded you....
I believe, in my humble opinioin, that this site helps bridge the gap between those who rest their head's on concrete and those who do so on Satin Pillows (those bastards).
But Great job man, i Like the site updates, and I will continue to seek out only the true Bum Wines/ let you know of any new discoveries.
Peace man, keep swillin'

Excellent site - appreciate the great commitment you've shown.
The best way to enjoy the pleasures of Buckfast tonic wine though requires some planning- mix it 50:50 by volume with thunderbird for a truley unique and vaguely pyscedlic experience.
Also thunderbird comes in at least three vintages (strengths) apple - 14%, pear (perry) 16% and something higher at 18%. And the small 375 bottles fit inside your inside coat pocket- perfect for those days out or picnics in the park.

In an age of soaring Bordeaux prices and trendy California reds it's good to see a segment of the population grounded in booze as cheap, quick, and satisfying as co-operated arcade smut. I recall fondly my last bumwine purchase nearly 15 years ago where in a rough side of town I found a walk up liquor store, slide change for buck under the bullet-proof glass divider and yelled 'Rrrrrrrrichards'. Moments later the clerk returned with the bottle and a warning: be careful with 'Rosie' and don't come back here again.

i just want to start by saying im impressed that so much energy went into a some what pointless, yet informative and entertaining site. im 16 and come from Ireland. us Irish are renown for our drinking ability, wife abuse and the such, and would like to make it clear that the reputation that buckfast has received is in correct. The beverage is commonly drank by alcoholics in the Glasgow region of Scotland but in Ireland and the rest of the uk its seen as a delicious drink of students and young folk.
Secondly the ultimate tramps drink is a Glasgwian lager called tenets that has a horrible taste, erodes ur stomach lining and is light on the pocket, wine on the other had, theres no better than mundies, a fortified wine that only the hardened tramps and ignorant teens drink . Only with mundies are u guaranteed 2 things a large amount of vomit in the general location where you wake up and a large potent downer that will last the next 3 days. Thanks for the trivia

I want to thank you gentlemen for your dedication and thorough handling of the spectrum of fortified vintages.
I'm nearly 40 now and haven't seriously entertained bum wine in over a decade -- largely due to a desire to remain employed -- but I do have a storied history with the crazy syrup.
I recommend the following:
When drinking Richard's, buy one bottle at a time. If one is unable to walk back to the corner store, one should not be consuming any additional Rose.
If Mad Dog is your passion, I urge you to get hold of some Orange Jubilee 20/20 and put it in a blender full of ice. Mad Dog Slushees keep the toxins cold enough for consumption and are a big hit with female rummies as well.

back in about '73 I visited a friend in South Bronx. He took me around the neighborhood so people would know to leave me alone, I was OK. We'd stop at each corner and pass around a jug with the locals. When one was empty we'd buy another and move on. Always the same thing "Foxfire Plum Velvet". A genuine ghetto streetcorner wine. Sweet with a kick and a fruity plum-like aftertaste.
A quick Google shows nothing. A Lost Wine.

Since I've started drinking the Wino's Drink of Cisco, I've noticed that sometimes my memory is quite bad. I'm only 47, and I know this cheap-ass drink is POISON ! Why else do they only sell it in ghetto and poorer neighborhoods by the caseloads ?
Cisco gives me a quick buzz, and that's all. It's $1.59 for the small one here in Southern Oregon, and our local store, "Dickey's", apparently sells quite a lot of it !
STill, it's POISON !

You should consider tasting a New Zealand wine called "Purple Death" I assure you it is a champion in the world of bum wines. It might be a bit pricey but trust me it tastes like shit. I have had it with vanilla ice cream as suggested by the bottler as way to serve this truly putrid product and it does make it marginally more palatable.

I grew up in Chicago. The bums there used to drink White Port Wine.If it is still sold, it should be evaluated for some sort of "regional bum wine" status.I was young the last time i drank some,but from what i can recall,it tasted like buffalo piss.
Also when i lived in Kentucky in the early 90's, we drank some crap called Muskatel(might not be spelled correctly).That stuff tasted like cough syrup.

Lyrics to "Talking Thunderbird Blues" by the late, great Townes Van Zandt
Among the strangest things I ever heard
Was when a friend of mine said man, lets get some thunderbird
I said whats that? he just started to grin
Slobbered on his shirt, his eyes got dim
He said you got fifty-nine cents?
I said yeah, I got a dollar, but dont be a smart-aleck
I aint gonna spend it on no indian relic
And he said thunderbirds not an old indian trinket,
Its a wine, man, you take it home and drink it.
I said it sure dont sound like wine to me
And he said hed bet me the change from my dollar
We hustled on down to the nearest u-tate-um
The guy wanted my id, I whipped her out and showed him
He got a green bottle from the freezing vault
My friend started doing backward somersaults
Through the cottage cheese
Took it back to his house, started drinkin
Pretty soon I set in to thinkin
Man, this thunderbird tastes yummy, yummy, yummy
And I know its doing good things to my tummy, tum..., t...
Its so you reason when your on that crap
Got a few more bottles, chugged them down
I pulled myself up off the ground
Decided I go see my dearest sweet wife
Who met me at the door with a carving knife
Said get them damn grape peel from between your teeth.
I could see were gonna have a little misunderstanding
I said dear, I better get in touch with you later
She said forget it, man, youre never touchin me again!
Now Ive seen the light and heard the word
And Im staying away from that ol dirty thunderbird
A message come from heaven radiant, and fine,
All I drink now is communion wine
Six days a week

Here is link to a pic of a genuine Modesto, CA bum. Woken from wine induced slumber under his tree from the mid day heat, children at play and a person (me) taking pictures. Near a friends house at 3rd & I Streets circa Summer 2001, with the bum wine evidence of what appears to be a bottle of Night Train. I remember this vividly as he was drunkenly rambling about "damned kids today," "no respect" and something about the Korean War. E&J Winery would be proud, local swill consumed by local bums.

Damn... I didn't know Gallo made Ripple too... I thought that particular abomination was from the Italian Swiss Colony folks. Screw the Gallo brothers. In 1970 we'd buy it by the case (4 bottles of red, 4 of white, 4 of Pagan Pink) and drink it while waiting for the windowpane to kick in. Two quarts of Pagan Pink and two hits of blotter acid had me puking in my guitar case and not only sick for days, but put me off wine for the next 15 years. Thanks, guys. Now I need to listen to some Elvin Bishop (You got red Ripple... You got White Ripple... you got PAY-GUN PINK Ripple...)
The taste? Fizzy. Sweet. Nasty. Horrible chemical aftertaste. But the shit was 75 cents a quart. Perfect for a broke highschool budget.

My name is Kelly W. Phipps! I love Wild Irish Rose. I hang out with a lot of my freinds on the streets of Louisville,KY. Yea, were a bunch of whino's. It's cheap and hits the spot on a cold winters night. One time I was in that video BUM FIGHTS, highlight of my life! I got my freakin teeth knocked out! Hurt something horrible. I am at an internet cafe. I typed Wild Irish Rose into google to see the nearest retailer and came up with this website. I wonder from town to town to have different adventures. I met this guy from Maine the other day and he liked Night Train, I said lets do it up fuckers!!! I love Night Train. His name is Adam J. Morrow. I thought I would like to share my expieriance with the web world. Although I am living on the streets, I have a Masters in Living.

This brings back memories of a party back in '96, I was months away from my 21st and was able to purchase some MD 20/20 Hawaiian Blue at the local food store. The stuff looked tasty to me so I bought it and headed over to a keg party near the college I was attending. I drank up with no problem then refilled the bottle with some keg beer twice and drank that also. (Long story short) Later on that night I'm hugging the toilet bowl and getting relief from the cool tile floor. I guess I passed out on the floor cause I found my self the next morning in a bed not knowing how I got there. Never knew at the time that what I drank was bum wine, those were the days.

I just went to the new Where to Buy link on the site and I just love the picture of the VA Market in Phoenix, AZ.
It has everything one would look for in an establishment where Bum Wine would be purchased. From the wino shabby chic exterior, bars on the opaque windows, steel plated door and a complimentary Bum Wine steward, conveniently located in the side alley, to give you his expert opinion on what Bum wine might suit your discriminating pallet.
I noticed in your piece about Cisco you failed to mention the visible white fog sitting atop the liquid in the bottle when you first crack the plastic screw on top off. If you blow on it is kind of reminiscent of those old Hollywood westerns. You see the hero blowing the smoke from the barrel of his revolver after shooting the bad guy. The only difference is, Cisco smokes first and plugs you second.
Last but not least, in my younger days the Bum Wine of choice for my friends and I was MD 20/20. In the hot summer months we made Mad Dog slushies, just pour MD 20/20 over shaved or crushed ice. I know most winos do not have a readily available supply of ice shaved, crushed or otherwise but it does make for a nice little pick me up for any low rent affair (white trash wedding reception, monster truck rally tailgate parties, trailer park picnics, ect.).

Me and my boy the Chuggernaut are going on a local tour around are neighborhood and yesterday we went to the liquor store and found another Cisco flavor. It's Green and it's Sour Apple. We ened up getting Lemon Ice and Peaches&Cream Mad Dog 2020. I was already drunk off a Alize and Miller Chelada's. I'm going to give on suggestion. That Lemon Ice MD2020. Imagine putting a car air freshner in your mouth. That taste is unbelievable. After that sip I passed on the couch and here I am with my pre-weekend review. If you mix Alize with Miller Chelada's it's not so bad. Stay away from lemon ice md2020.

I loved your critique of Cisco. Back in the early '90's my best friend (who is gay, I only add this info because it is important to the story) and I discovered the "Liquid Crack". We bought a couple of bottles (750mL) each for a trip to the beach. I and my friend have always had an ability to handle our liquor but this stuff gets you beyond drunk. Neither I nor my friend became violent but the evening culminated with my friend staging an impromptu drag show on the nearest pier at 2 AM and I woke up at sunrise on the sundeck in my underwear with my clothes strewn through out or rental cottage and outside on the sundeck where my unrehearsed strip tease had ended. I remember all the details but was incapable of stopping myself.
I found my friend passed out in the hammock in the yard wearing a ladies bathing suit he stole from the clothes line of some senior citizens staying up the road, one shoe of a pair of gold high heels (we never did find the other shoe) and a red wig (the last two items were his, he always carries certain items for "drag" purposes don't ask me why).
I think just stating "Serves 8" is not enough for this stuff. It should have a waring that it may cause irreversible brain damage at the very least and could possibly result in felony warrants being issued for the consumer.
Oddly enough neither of us suffered from a hangover just a lot of humiliation.

Also, I found a reference to Ripple in the Academy Award winning motion picture Forrest Gump: Lietenant Dan has Forrest run to the store to get him a(nother) bottle, before the New Year's Eve party.

I really feel bad for you all that someday you too will lay in a hospital bed just as my brother did a month ago. His skin was so yellow it looked like mustard. The doctor told us his liver was completely gone. There was no liver left. He drank Cisco. What a waste. I lost a best friend. His life is over all because he chose to drink this rotgut stuff. It sickens me to think you all have nothing better to do. Your family will miss you. After he turned yellow and spent a week in the hospital, his kidneys shut down. My mother and I took him home where he lasted 2 and a half days. I didn't tell him he was dying only that we were going to make him better. Think about that next time you have a high from Cisco. Think of how your family will miss you. I will do my best to advertise anyway I can that this stuff can kill.

Boone's Farm is delicious.
Therefore it CANNOT be a bum wine.
Bum wine is by defination on par with roofing tar as far as palatibility.
But perhaps it is a good choice for the temporarily homeless.
You know...who will get hired by another Intel Corporation and be back in the mainstream in no time.

While I am a big fan of the 'bird, I was disappointed not to find a mention of Stones Ginger wine on your most informative site. It is the principle ingredient in a Whisky Mac, but on it's own it packs a respectable 13.5% ABV. As a penniless student it certainly made the evenings in unheated damp student accommodation a good deal more pleasant.

Try Taylor Port. Screw cap, cheap price, keeps you warm on cold days, a perfect bum wine. I believe it is a New York wine. The first couple of swigs are rough. After that you don't realy taste anything at all.

My grandfather was not a drunk, but he was really cheap, and he drank Wild Irish Rose. It was the first wine I ever tasted, and I had samples of it as a kid, so there probably should be child abuse charges filed somewhere.
I honestly had no idea it was a bum wine until I saw it as an adult being sold for a few bucks in a section of the liquor store I hadn't noticed before.
Thanks for the laughs and info.

Good laughs, I don't ever suggest consistently drinking any of these wines if you value your health.
Great novelty tho.
Next time I see a bum i'm yelling

I once drank the CISCO 750ML bottle for New Years and didn't wake up until the 3rd of January.

I finally manged to find Cisco, as well as Night Train last weekend. I'm very excited. (My wife does not share my excitement.) I asked about Cisco in a liquor store near my house and was coldly told that I "Won't find it in this town. Go over to Lynn, I'm sure they'll have it there." (The city of Lynn, MA has a well-deserved reputation.) I drove up 107 until I found a place called "Discount Liquor"... no name, just "Discount Liquor", that shared a parking lot with what appeared to be a defunct adult video store and was across the street from the world's saddest flea market housed inside an abandonded garage. I knew this had to be pay dirt, and sure enough, right inside the front door was my treasure-chest... a cooler full of several flavors of MD, Cisco, Night Train and something called Tarantula. (Which turned out to be a disappointment at only 5% ABV). The guy at the counter was stupified by my purchase... 2 bottles of Cisco Strawberry, 1 of Night Train, 3 MD 20/20, a Blue Hawaiian Tarantula, a 40 of Tecate Beer, and a 40 of Natural Light which came to a grand total of $21.90.
"Wow! What are you doing, having 5 winos over?"
"No, it's for a party."
"Well I hope you're having it outside, people'll be puking in no time." (I admired his candor about his products.)
"The party's not at my house."
"Well thank god... You know, I've never seen anybody buy this combination before, good luck!"
I think he meant it too. I also think I was the only person in the place besides him who had a job. I was thinking of taking my camera back there to add to the "Where to buy" page on your site but I didn't see Thunderbird, so I guess it doesn't make the cut. I might go back and double check though, I got so focussed on that cold-case that I didn't really explore the store. I'll let you know if it turns out to be a good source for all 5 bum wines.

Oh, man. You guys missed the very generic and favorite filler of the paper bag: White Port.
You listed Name Brands. White Port is the GENERIC of Bum Wines.
How cool is that?
