I think a couple of the drinks were spoiled... Some aluminum cans have a liner on the inside that gives off that hot-tar-burning-tires-condom-factory taste and smell when it gets too old. I got the exact same thing from a six pack of cider once, and someone from the company that canned it told me that's what happens to old cans. My guess is these wine coolers aren't big sellers and they sat on the store shelf waaaay too long.

@jegger2143 11 ай бұрын

From my understanding, the fact it smells like a fart says it's actually much worse. It means it's contaminated by Sulphur. Whether it's due to age or a flaw in the canning process (could also be the wine since the one they use may to take to the canning process well) I'm not sure, but it's definitely a sign that Greg should NOT have drunk them.

As a teenager in the 80s, wine coolers being consumed illicitly by underaged drinkers was largely a female phenomenon, along with guys trying to get into the pants of said females.😉👍 Most males were drinking cheap beer(the Strohs 30 packs were particularly popular) or some kind of brown liquor.

You can mix and match liqueurs and wines to find combos you like. Last time I did these it was peach schnapps + white zinfandel w/ plain seltzer for bubbles, but you can do you. 😉

When I visited Germany (10 years ago admittedly), I learned that obviously there is a market for teens who are legally of drinking age but not exactly hard drinkers yet. There are plenty of relatively accessible and low ABV drinks available, mostly beers lightened or sweetened with various additives. The technical term they used for these was usually "Gemischtesbier," or literally "mixed beer." However, most of the teens to whom they were marketed preferred the term "Pussybier." Note that is not a translation, they just borrowed the phrase from English.

It's really the same market in the US, except that legally it's not supposed to be. Or, I should say, it *was* that age bracket in the heyday of wine coolers, I don't really know what the teen scene is like now, but I can't imagine anybody else is going for these things. Those who are past college-age but still have a sweet tooth tend to go for pitchers of sangria (which really is kind of the original wine cooler) or whatever sugary mixed drink is in fashion this month.

I find it funny that Greg sometimes describes himself as having a sweet tooth, but far and away his biggest criticism of a lot of these types of mass market drinks is that they are too sweet. Not knocking, just find it funny. Also this episode is correct, 95% of "Coolers" are straight up juice, with a slight whiff of alcohol. That's fine for me most days, but if you want an actual, like, grown up drink, stir clear.

We add a new decoration onto the bottle to celebrate the occasion, and after about forty years of this you can barely tell what it contained (past tense, because at some point somebody drained the bottle to make it legal to ship across state lines). I'm not sure who has it right now, but I'm 100% sure that when I get my next job I'll find out. The bottle is referred to as "vintage Tuesday" in honor of not having ever been a wine anybody would take seriously.

The sweetness was added later, especially when they added the malt stuff and stopped calling them "wine" anything.

I invented a cocktail called a "Gilbert". It was simply Southern Comfort with Lucozade (paired on the basis that they were the same colour). It was lovely! An advantage to this drink was that you were consuming a hangover cure (the Lucozade) at the same time as you were imbibing alcohol, so the morning after was less painful! You could also substitute IrnBru for the Lucozade for the very same reasons - same colour, same hangover-reducing qualities. I can no longer drink at all, due to being on strong painkillers which would be dangerous to mix with alcohol, so I am imparting my wisdom to you to enjoy.

I can tell you I still remember the Bruce Willis Golden Wine Coolers commercials, but I never drank one. I've had plenty of Seagram's 7. It wouldn't surprise me it the other large liquor companies did the same. Obviously, they ended up doing better than they thought.
