... It's Lanliq, not Lanlic - and the reason it's vintage is because they no longer make it.
Buckfast has achieved a surprising level of popularity in working class and bohemian communities in certain parts of the United Kingdom and Ireland. Buckfast sold in Ireland has a slightly lower alcoholic strength, arrives in a darker bottle, and lacks the vanillin flavouring of the British version. The drink has also entered the popular culture lexicon in Scotland leading to it being given a number of nicknames, including "The Dark Destroyer", "Wreck the hoose juice", "Cumbernauld Rocket Fuel" and "Lanarkshire Gravy".
No, It is named Buckfast because you give it to your pet Red Deer first thing in the morning when he eats.
Buckfast monks should know better than encourage alcohol consumption: it's a bad habit.[is "Blue Nun" made by Nuns ?]
JimBob - You did get the "habit" joke, right? (Sometimes he's a bit slow on the uptake)
I suppose they claim it's called Buckfast after the abbey. Or, were they really anticipating making a Fast Buck? []Back on subject, anyone who has the pleasure of living in the delightful new town of Cumbernauld is likely to have an ever-present sense that the end is most definitely nigh.
There is nothing wrong with Cumbernauld that the end of the world could not sort out.
I could launch into a diatribe about the great "benefits" that socialism has bestowed on my native land, but I'd likely get kicked off TNS if I did!
I think you could maybe get away with your diatribe in 'just chat'!
