Has anyone read "My friend Leonard?"
In it he talks about his favourite fortified wine that sounds like night train. On the label it says it is fortified with ethanol. |

Ah. I was thinking of Olde English. Old E. Foul wretched stuff but it does make me a bit misty-eyed with nostalgia....

Gosh, I remember when you could get a 4 pack of Efes in Migros for 3 million, just a few years ago. I miss that. |
I remember when a can of Efes was 5000 TL. |

Nah, they just changed the label. I think it's the same company came out with another label of similarly flavored cat-pee, but with a snazzier looking bottle, called Cumartesi... |

I was talking to a student about Guzel Marmara yesterday. She claimed that it is now drinkable. It's not as if she is cheap, she generally drinks bottles of French Merlot. I am too much of a coward to try it out ,even with the fancy new artwork on the label. |

I'm always amazed when you go to a fancy wine bar and they offer you a glass of weed killer and say how good it is and have the bare faced cheek to ask 10ytl for a glass of the stuff .
Teridag ,you're right, that stuff is poison,even the turkish gin and vodka will do you less harm than that crap . |

I thought Cumartesi was alright, mind you my taste buds have been numbed by 'Samsun' cigarettes |

Cumartesi is acceptable the moment you open it, but after 5 minutes of exposure to air it goes downhill... AFter that, I put some sugar in it, and it was acceptable. The rest I kept for cooking and spoiled a batch a soup. |

Can you still get 'Izmir' wine? Made palatable only by the addition of juice. |

That didn't coincide with the cleaning up of the Golden Horn did it???

And another of my personal favourites. The heehaw always has a bottle ready for me coming home because she knows what's good for her.
