Boone's Farm Blue Hawaiian: Wine or Windex? :D

[Robin Garr]

I posted this on Facebook, thinking it was too silly for these more serious wine-geek quarters, but it got so many good responses from wine folk that I thought I’d let the forum in on the fun, too.

I spotted it at Walgreen's and was intrigued immediately (but not enough to buy it!) I remembered Boone’s Farm from my youth, of course, but I never before saw one what was Windex color! Is it "wine" or is it window detergent? (Actually, it’s a wine-cooler-like “malt beverage,” not that there’s anything right with that.)

Have any of you ever knowingly consumed this product? If so, 'fess up, with tasting notes!

Finally, just for fun, here’s a great spoof of a tasting report from the Phoenix New Times:

Have a case aging in my cellar. Will let you know in five to ten years.

Is it "wine" or is it window detergent?

Does it have to be one or the other?
Are we not openminded enough to accept that it can be both?
Think outside the box, Robin.

Smurfalicious!! with a hint of oak I suspect.

Reminds me of that classic fake commercial from early Saturday Night Live: "It's a floor wax!" "No, it's a dessert topping!"

Wasn't this what Levi and Bristol were drinking on "that special night"?
