Just in the week when BBC Scotland broadcast an investigative documentary into the social ill-effects of the consumption of Buckfast Tonic Wine, I spotted an empty bottle in the trees. Part of the problem with Buckfast (also known as Buckie, Wreck the Hoose Juice, Commotion Lotion and Liquid Speed) seems to be the very high caffeine content along with the alcohol. It is associated with anti-social behaviour particularly in Scotland. The bottle has been used as a weapon.
It is made by monks at Buckfast Abbey in Devon and I remember a visit there as quite a young child with my parents. (Photo detail - Wikipedia)
