The cheap wines of the ghetto are now becoming the must-have drink of White hipsters as “wino chic” becomes the new thing. Classic cheap wines for under $3.99 are being reinvented at parties and dive bars that normally would not be seen in 2017 unless they were in a 1970’s-themed Quentin Tarantino movie. Names such as Thunderbird, MD 20/20 and Wild Irish Rose Wine have entered the lexicon of hipster drinks that were was once considered harmful and a stereotype of the Black inner city.
These beverages are known as fortified wines and have been a mainstay for a cheap high among the poor and some college students. There are many tales that have MD 20/20 and other cheap wines as the main culprit in the “never again” promises of early morning hangovers. So sugar the rim of your plastic Solo Red Cups and add a lemon garnish to enjoy some of these ghetto wine cocktails.
