80s people-guess what I found in Sainsburys yesterday?

[OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow]

Lambrusco! White, rose and red. I had to get a bottle for nostalgia's sake. (And its 2.95 a bottle) It was the pre alcho pop fizzy drink of choice. And the red was more sophisticated (ha, who am I kidding?)
Any other long lost drinks that scream big hair and shoulder pads?

What was that Pernod/black currant alcopop called??
God I used to love it. Was it Hex?
Does anyone remember it?
Brown over bitter anyone? It's probably a northern thing.

Tequila Sunrise anyone?

Taboo/ Mirage advert! m.youtube.com/watch?v=eRD-vQa7JB8

It was 'Mirage or Taboo - which one are you?'

Anyone remember a combination known a a Purple Nasty? It was DBs drink of choice, think it was snakebite and blackcurrant.
I survived student days on cheap cider. Gives me heartburn now.

When I saw the thread title I thought you have found out where Pru Leith buys her clothes.

I raise you Noilly Prat 🍸

Long vodka if I was out
Castaways or diamond white, maybe blush if I was feeling fancy when I was drinking in a park.
Always whilst being absolutely drenched in Loulou by Cacharel.

I think I might have gotten Exclamation! That Christmas from my boyfriend and I got him Jazz. So classy.

castaway and diamond white mixed was great at 18

Thunderbird for getting ratarsed, Black Tower for that hint of sophistication

chips yes!! Omg and the state I would find myself in!

Cherry Bs, I think these were from the early 80s and I remember being very ill after drinking a lot of them. They were in small bottles and were like a fizzy cherry wine.
Blue Nun wine.
Martini rose
Taboo and Mirage.
Southern Comfort and lemonade.

Cider and Blackcurrant.

Pernod and lemonade, tasted like with a kick!

*tasted like Sherbet with a kick!

I see some of us mention it now, but was was Thunderbird?
Some sort of fortified wine perhaps?

Worked in a pub early 2000’s - still had people who drank brown bitter, 50/50, ‘mixed’ and twilight.

Taboo and lemonade was a personal favourite, a Chinese place near us still has it!

I also remember Metz, made you feel like you’d sucked on a jay cloth. Castaway, Hooch...used to start off with lager & lime as a skint student!

Can you still get that, @Walkacrossthesand?

Yes, it was Taboo and Mirage. Nobody liked Mirage, though. In the bars I worked in Taboo outsold it by at least 10 to 1.

Snakebite or green witch

This takes me back. One of my favs was Cider and Babycham.

Blue nun wine 🍷 for the ‘sophisticated’ amongst us. 😳

One night the pub ran out of pineapple juice and that was when we came up with Malibu and Appletise.

Mateus Rose.

Babycham and cider was lethal!

Wasn't a diamond white and a castaway called a Blastaway?

Anyone remember K cider? In a black bottle. I thought I was the proper knees of the bees with that lol...

I love cinzano and still drink it, over ice with lemonade and a slice of lemon, lovely. Any one remember Pony “the little drink with a big kick”

Port and Lemon.
