Ripple is one of the oldest and most classic ghetto wines. In its day Thunderbird and others were around...but somehow Ripple didn't stick around.

Rasberries like you've never had before
Phat taste straight up
So blingin' over ice"

I just drank the 187 over ice (it was 'so blingin') and now im half way thru a private stock 40. it was pretty smooth,


I was swillin on this while trying to "loosen up" for my TechTV interview. Before it I had a 24oz can of the black Steel Reserve malt, and a 22oz bottle of St Ides Special Brew (forget which flavor). I was about 1/2 way done when the interview started & feeling very good. I was also very surprised at how much I liked the Thunderbird... especially since I'm not a fan of wines. But it was going down fairly smooth & easy. Soon as the interview wrapped up (& I flashed my 375ml flask on the screen) I finished it, and moved on to another St Ides Special Brew (different forgotten flavor), and then followed that up with my 375ml Night Train ghetto wine... however I only got about 1/3 the way through it until I had to excuse myself to the shitter & hurled. I was kinda drunk, but not so drunk where I shoulda been puking... I was only puking because of the combination of the malts + ghetto wines was making me sick... too much ghetto wine especially.
