"The Wine So Bad it Made the News" would be the best advertising slogan ever devised by man, machine, or god.
Strip should be a five, y'all jerks is tasteless.

My hometown is in Northeast PA and the State Stores there still sell it. btw, I feel a bit of a need to defend Blue Nun. It's not that bad! It's no Opus One but for a cheap, sweet wine it beats some ratty White Zin such like Gallo.
Another low budget, damn delicious wine is Smoking Loon Chardonnay

You know a wine is bad when your local neighbourhood ghettomart has it on sale. Naturally at 2$ a bottle you jump and by six bottles. The sad thing is that the winery is trying to make Blue Nun more "up market." This makes me fear that that charming bistro down the street will offer me Nighttrain or Thunderbird with my meal.
