What was the alcohol content of a bottle of Ripple from the 1970's?!
BQ: Has anyone ever tried a so-called street wine? For example MD 20/20?
I became fascinated with these fortified beverages after reading about them on bumwine.com, yet never got up the courage to try one. I drank OE 40 ounces when I was younger, but that's as far as I went 'slumming' it. I thought a cheap bottle of port wine would be analogous and have had several bottles - they have 20% alcohol by volume, but are very sweet.

About 10-12%, sometimes less.
