I like how the label says "Thunderbird" twice. Like they wanted it to look fancy, but someone said "Wait, our target market might not be able to read it in fancy cursive. We better add BLOCK TEXT above that."
Served best mixed together with MRE grape cool aide. That EXACT mixture. Yes I did it. It was more like "we". No one would do that alone. It was the most painful hangover of my life.
As soon as he uncapped the bottle, I literally had an indelible scent memory of what I could only describe as "wine" scented nail polish remover. In my youth, a friend and I discovered the economy and slightly hallucinogenic properties of Thunderbird, with a Mickey's Big Mouth chaser. We called this evil pairing the Low-die cocktail.
I’m happy to see that he’s getting a bunch more subscribers now that his Everclear vid hit the front page of Reddit. I’m working my way down, hoping to watch all his previous videos tonight 😆

In south Texas, frozen margaritas are common fare in restaurants, but not all of them have hard liquor licenses, so they sell wine-aritas. I used to work in a restaurant that won awards for their winearitas. Using Thunderbird.
I have always contended that Thunderbird is made by taking a 5 gallon bucket to Skidrow and paying winos to piss in it. Then, back at the factory (not distillary or winery, but factory) they add equal parts Welch's white grape juice and kerosene.
bossfan49 Fair enough, and I know there’s several others out there that fly under the radar. My main question is: Who the heck is still buying these? There’s no continued supply without demand.
@@imaramblins The only ones I see anymore are MD20/20, WIR, and Boone's Farm. I don't know where/how this guy got a bottle of T-Bird. I bought a bottle as a gag gift about 10 years ago and haven't seen it since. Possibly homeless people and high school/college kids are still buying it. Who knows.
Where/how did you get that? I haven't seen it on the shelf anywhere in 5 or 6 years. What's the word? Thunderbird! How's it sold? Good and cold! What's the jive? 'Birds alive! What's the price? .30 twice!! Thunderbird was Gallo's companion product along with Ripple (carbonated, fortified wine) which was a favorite of Fred Sanford, and Night Train Express which was the "mean wine" consumed by Joliet Jake in The Blues Brothers. ps. love the term "fruit jerky".
When I was 16 years old I can remember me and some of my friends putting our money together and buying a fifth of Thunderbird, ah those were the good old days. 😊🥂
Have you, or do you plan on reviewing Bay Bridge? They're actual varietals that Kroger has usually for $3, at least where I live. I'm a Kroger wine steward but too afraid to try them lol.
makes me think of the 70's, i'm feeling the shag carpet between my toes.... or on my face! ...when i'm passed out. (we definitely know what face shag you meant here, sir UWG)
I use to drink it in the late 70s because at a party no one else would drink it so I had it all to myself. They changed the formulation in the mid 80s to a slightly sweeter taste but still 20% alcohol. The 70s version tasted like watered down vodka strained through dirty jock straps as I imagined it might be like. I think it was around 75 cents a bottle
Can I do you a favor and request a review of an ACTUAL wine? I mean, Everclear and Malört were hilarious, but how about we put your skills to use. How does El Gato Negro Cabernet sound? Similar price point to T-bird if we're going to be honest, but it's a legit Chilean red. God knows you've earned it. HNY
I'd love to see real wine reviews too but I think what makes this guy's videos so hilarious is the absolute abomination beverages he chooses to review. If he started reviewing actual (read: good) wine, he may lose his audience. There's entertainment value to reviewing Everclear as opposed to a Francois Raveneau Grand Cru Chablis.
@@CembaloMeister I think there's a place for both. Yes, it's more entertaining to see reviews of stuff that makes "low-end" seem fancy, bit also an opportunity for him to show off his actual sommelier skill in a more appropriate fashion wouldn't be terrible
Thunderbird was one of my favorite bum wines in my high school days back in the early 70s . . . less than a buck a bottle . . . it was almost as "good" as Ripple . . . the favorite of Fred G. Sanford. 😆
Thunderbird *is* Gallo, and last I heard they discontinued that stuff and relaunched with a more 'wine-like' thunderbird in three varieties: cabernet, 'red blend,' and chardonnay. Dare you to try those.
That looks like the chardonnay version. It's definitely a new label. The most recent one I remember was red/yellow and had the Thunderbird logo on the front.
Oh my goodness that is so funny. That is one of the cheapest wines that you can buy. That is the kind of drink that a homeless person on skid row will be drinking on a street corner or in the alley. I've tried Thunderbird before. When I was younger out of curiosity. By seeing the winos in my neighborhood drink that. It is definitely an acquired taste. Thank you for the laughs that was funny.

The target audience can't read.
That's a new label. The most recent one I remember was red/yellow. Just said Thunderbird across the top and had the circular Tbird logo in the middle.
Target audience? They're blind shooting blinds. 🤣
Who's the target audience? ..white people?
Binge watched a ton of these vids after seeing the Everclear review. Holy shit, I haven't laughed so hard in a while. Easy subscribe.
I'm literally on the same journey right now
I'm on my way
Me too buddy. It's like we just discovered gold.
I'm binging right now. I haven't laughed this much from a video by myself in months. Love it!
Right along side ya 🍷👌
I highly recommend reviewing Arbor Mist. It's tagline is "a fine wine product" and we call it "the Velveeta of Wine"
I mean, if you're wanting a weak party punch; Arbor Mist isn't all that bad. As long as you get the idea of wine out of your head.
I am incorporating "velveeta of wines" into my lexicon. Thank you sir.
Man, don’t ever say those words! I was running a liquor store wine section and the owner would buy 50 case deals of that swill just to annoy me
Arbor Mist is what it is. If you accept it for what it is, one can enjoy it. I do.
The question is, is it what Velveeta is to cheese or what Velveeta would be if you put it in a glass and called it wine.
Thunderbird, Night Train, Wild Irish Rose and MD 20/20 are the kings of bum worthy wine. Served best at room temperature and wrapped in a brown bag.
what about cisco?😅
Boones farm

He's only had the channel up for two months. (one month at the time of your comment). I'd say it's doing pretty well now.

Used to love Thunderbird when I was first in the Army in the early 80’s. Hanging out with the brothers got me into it!
“A glorious dehydrated bird” 😂😂😂 I am in love with this dude lolololol
That had me laughing
That look at the camera during the swish killed me
Like, “Why are you maiking me do this?”
Pretty sure you have to drink this in an alley while sitting near a dumpster to fully appreciate this wine.
His first mistake was pouring it into a glass. Best drunk straight from the bottle, mostly while it's still wrapped in a brown paper bag. Lol.
When your taste buds are shot, this is the wine for you.

I love this sense of humor. You’re fantastic sir
How about a review of Night Train or Ripple. That is if they still make them???
Or Wild Irish Rose
no idea how i got to this channel but you sir are a comedic genius! instantly subscribed and about to go through all of your videos
I just wanted to say that you deserve 100x the followers you have rn, your content is fantastic!!
I love how your facial expression didn't change when tasting it and remained concerned for the whole time
The taste of Thunderbird always reminds me of piss and the smell of my hand after lumping gas.
Holy smokes! This is becoming my favorite channel!
I've watched all of your videos tonight, all hilarious and insightful, but this is my favorite by far. Just absolute perfection!
Bruh I love the jazz playing while you sip on them fine grapes.
Holy cow man u gained 20,000 subs in like 3 days! Keep up the good work👍 love the channel!!
Great review! This is the most accurate description of Thunderbird I've ever heard, and by association, my Freshman college year.
I'd suggest Night Train Express (immortalised by Guns N' Roses), but I see that it comes from the same family as Thunderbird
Same family. Different yardbird. Similar yikes. Both are to be avoided with equal fuck no.
I second this. Do a review of Night Train.
Treat it like a varietal
@@MrSplic3r HA!!!

But birds don’t piss, which means the source of this drink is even more mysterious!
How they figured to extract this liquid from a solid is beyond me
OMG. 1st evening with you, fella. Laughing, crying, sharing, laughing some more, subscribed. THANKS - just what i needed!
The fact only 7 people disliked this... Is proof enough... "1.99 I get it" for the volume of drink ... Id still buy.
Wasn't meant for a glass meant to be drank from the bottle in a brown paper bag.😁😁
6k subs in a month... still not what you deserve. Looking forward to watching this channel blow up!

Having mentioned Gallo Wines from the same district, I have to say I like what they produce. And I'm in Australia, from where the best wines flow.
never forget the amazing thunderbird commercial, where the nicest thing james mason can say about it is "It has a unique taste"
OMG I lost it at "a very dehydrated bird" and was gasping for air for the rest of the video. Very nearly died for real. Subbed.

Thank you, I have not laughed harder than I did at "...Pizza Mike" in a very very long time!
I remember only buying this cause I never seen it before and only heard of it referred to as rocket fuel. And that was a mistake.
I knew a dude that drank enough to float a battleship! I remember Boones Farm, Mad Dog 20/20, Thunderbird and Cisco.

Where did you get this !
So Gallo wine is better than Thunderbird? Carlo Rossi (the only wine my brother likes -burgundy)
I wanted to see this cultured man slam that bottle
Like the old advertising slogan
Whats the word, Thunderbird! Whats the price fifty twice!
Next either do Everclear 190 or Riunite Lambrusco
I used to be scared of this because of the 2 day hangover I was told it can cause. Is that true?
If someone paid you 4.99 to take a bottle of Thunderbird home it would STILL be a ripoff.
WHERE did you find this!
Y'know I'm glad there are some things I can't get in the UK.
