Didn't everyone though? At least when I was a kid the supermarket options were basically blue nun, mateus rose, liebfrau, hock or muscadet.

You just weren't doing the math, 1.5l of wine and enough change out of a tenner for an 18th of shitty weed and a bag of chips. Martin Lewis couldn't get a better deal than that.

This thread is full of such a mix of correctness and incorrectness that I don't know where to start.

My GCSE German kicked in and realised that liebfraumilch translates as 'dear mrs milk'

Does Game of Thrones count? I read the books which were a meandering wankfest of self indulgence and non sequiturs and the old perv has still not written the last book.
Strictly, Celebrity Love Island, get me out the Jungle etc etc.
Tartan jeans back in the late 80s early 90s, also Flairs. (flares?).
sideburns.
Quite a few of the ones mentioned as well.

Gin. Don’t like it therefore didn’t follow the fad.
When I was online dating it seemed like every girl had some reference to liking gin in their profile, on a platform where the objective is to stand out from the rest..
Any kind of bandwagon jumping puts me off people tbh.
Correct. They must have collectively thought it was a social status signal

Have you noticed they’ve realised they don’t like gin but like telling people they like gin, so companies now make products specifically for them? There’s a million and one pisswater 20% abv gin liquors that have varyingly flavours from basic bitch to pure sugar……
