    Just a fun site put up by some creative guys who rate the worst of the worst wines sold in America.

    From T-Bird to Wild Irish, they give a solid, funny, review of these awful conconctions.

    A test subject reports, "Strawberry Cisco has a bouquet similar to that of Frankenberry cereal fermented in wine cooler with added sprinkle of brandy for presentation."

    Enjoy.

    They don't include Boone's Farm, so this is hardly an authoritative study. How do you miss that?

    When I was in college, the 7-Eleven across the street had Boone's Farm priced so that with tax it was an even dollar. If you could come up with a dollar, you could score a bottle of Kountry Kwencher and hit a party.

    They include it, but say it's not strong enough.

    I still shiver when I see MD 20/20 Grape Wine or Orange Jubilee.

    Oh, god, I can't even look at the Dog without shivering and retching anymore.

    One thing I've always wondered. It's a Mogen David product; is it kosher?

    Under "Others" there's a short thing about "Ripple," from Sanford and Son. I always wondered what the hell that was.

    Hey, I'm not ripping the Farm, I'm advocating it!

    That website is a blast. But I was saddened to not see any historical stuff on that great bum wine of the 70s, T.J. Swann.

    And while I was trying to look up T.J. Swann in Google I came across this 70s board.

    Check it out. I may be gone for a while reading this stuff.

    I'm 21, and the occasion is my two-year anniversary with my college girlfriend.

    I arrange a romantic night in the big city, dinner at a decent restaurant followed by a night in a reasonably nice hotel -- we both still live in the dorm, so just an uninterrupted night alone is a luxury.

    After retiring to the room, cracking open a bottle of cheap champagne and engaging in some hot 21-year-old sex, the girlfriend zonks out at like 9:30. I hang out on the balcony and polish off the half-finished champagne, stewing a bit that she crapped out on me so early on this night I had big plans for. It's only 10, I'm half-drunk and I'm bored, so I ill-advisedly set out on foot.

    The only available alcohol purveyor in the big city at this hour -- without going into a bar, which after the evening's largesse I cannot afford -- is a little bodega filled with people who scare my little white suburban ass. I grab for the first thing I see that I can afford: A bottle of Thunderbird. I take it back to the room, finish the whole damn thing and pass out.

    I am awakened by the girlfriend, who doesn't look happy. It doesn't take long to figure out why. The sheets are cold and wet. I pissed the bed. "At first I felt bad for you, because I fell asleep and left you to finish the champagne," she said. "But then I saw this."

    The bottle. I was too wasted to even dispose of the evidence. The rest of the weekend's festivities are cancelled. Just another story of T-Bird heartbreak.

    That, ArnoldBabar, is a great story.

    "What's the word?"

    "Thunderbird!"

    What's the price? Dollar twice.
