It's an extra strong sparkling wine that Scots like to drink before breaking stuff.

So buckfast is something to drink before a Scotsman goes on a breaking binge?

Is this it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckfast_Tonic_Wine

Quote:
Buckfast is alleged to be the drink of choice for drinkers who are prone to committing anti-social behaviour when drunk,


Quote:
The drink also has a very high caffeine content, with each 750ml bottle containing the equivalent of eight cans of cola.


Quote:
In January 2010 a BBC investigation revealed that Buckfast was mentioned in 5,638 crime reports in the Strathclyde area of Scotland from 2006�2009, equating to three a day on average. One in 10 of those offences was violent and the bottle was used as a weapon 114 times in that period. Further, in a survey last year of 172 prisoners at a young offenders� institution, 43 percent of the 117 people who drank alcohol before committing their crimes said they had drunk Buckfast. In a study of litter in a typical housing project, 35 percent of the items identified were Buckfast bottles.[13][14]

Gone are the days when I'd buy buckfast then burn down the outlet which sold it to me. Best days of my life.
