Buckfast

Scottish party fuel

Buckfast is a strong, caffeinated tonic wine originally produced by Benedictine monks at Buckfast Abbey in Devon, England.

In Scotland especially, it has become notorious as a cheap drink associated with binge drinking and antisocial behavior, earning nicknames like "Buckie" and "wreck the hoose juice": They were passing around a bottle of Buckfast in the park.
