Here in Lancs we float a hot pot in it.
Isn�t Buckfast made in Devon?

I imagine they were buying the Moet for the adults, and the Buckfast for the binge-drinking angelic tearaway rascal scallywags?

Perhaps the non-Scots would refer Cristal (for me) and Diamond White or Mad Dog 20/20 for the bratz?
dunno crete (whats buckfast) but ya cant beat a bottle of blue pop!
Buckfast is called "electric soup" in Edinburgh
Crete , when I worked behind the bar in a nightclub , the worst I was asked for was Buckfast and Baileys together.We didn't even sell Buckfast but I thought that that sounded disgusting. Actually Buckfast sounds disgusting full stop.
In Lancs they'll float owt on an 'ot pot. Lol

you obviously dont live in scotland trime !
It's made at Buckfastly Abbey, a working Monastary in South Devon. I've been there a few times, it's quite interesting. The electric soup is yummy... as is the whisky marmalade they sell as well :0)
The answer's obvious - it's a Kelvinside (posh) version of 'Punk Champagne', the recipe for which is two parts white cider to one part Buckfast.

For some reason it seems to be more popular in the West of Scotland than anywhere else!

Was indulging in late night tv and guess what I saw. How much do you think that the monks had to pay for product placement on Streets of Crime 4, lol, made me think of you tho' crete, as the wee scrote was swiggin' Buckfast mid questioning by the Pol-ice , no Moet in sight I did look!
