My grandparents used to make wine every year. We always celebrated Christmas Thanksgiving Easter sitting around the dining room table drinking that wine. Hey I actually still have a couple of their kegs in my basement (empty of course).

Top of the line wine as 40 water says “ Carlos Rossi”

When I was a pre teen I drank strawberry hill

The old man used to drink Carlos Rossi - seriously, first time I went back to the old homestead after he passed to start cleaning up - the number of those damn gallon jugs he accumulated was stunning. He “saved” them like must other junk - he had a plan on using them someday. Always talked how he was going to start making his own wine when he felt better. Could have opened a damn vineyard with the amount of bottles he had stashed out in one of the sheds.

Boone’s Farm Apple - oh the stories I could tell about that stuff. It was basically a $2 bottle of wine cooler. Back when we had the package store - would sell between 15-30 cases a week - all Friday and Saturday night and usually one bottle at a time to some 21-23 year old - probably buying for their teenage “friends”. Actually not “wine” (or at least Snow Creek Berry wasn’t and I believe Strawberry Hill and Peach) - it’s a a malt beverage. Ohio is one of those weird states that says “no wine on Sunday” - so couldn’t sell wine - but malts are ok and we were clear to sell Boone’s. $1.88 a bottle in the late 90s - made it $2 with sales tax.

Mogen David 20/20 - Aka Mad Dog - never touched the stuff - Blue Hawaiian looked cool - but stuff was DISGUSTING . Original grape was ok - but I preferred Wild Irish - or better yet some stout beer.

If you haven’t tried them - try a nice ice wine. Amish make a lot of varieties here and stuff is sneaky strong. Those damn Krauts know how to make booze that will sneak up on you - similar to the Asian’s and their rice wines. You think it’s lightweight stuff and suddenly your passed out in a field some random Sunday morning wondering how you got there.

Also - wine, like art is something to buy what you like and not judge based on the price tag. Some really good wines for 8-12 bucks a bottle that can be enjoyed. Way too many people think $100 bottle better than a case of the $10 stuff. It’s about what YOU like - not what the online reviews/experts tell you to like.

Still around I believe - but now it’s White Claw and Seltzer drinks and all that stupid shit.

People who buy this crap had parents who paid 8.99 a 6 for Zima in the 90s when you could have bought 5 bottles of Boones. Stupidity is spread genetically.

I used to listen to a lot of 40 water growing up, he had a banger in 92 called Carlos Rossi, we drank it from listening to the song.
