Whoa, buried memory from four decades ago. I only recall seeing the bottle the one time, so it probably wasn’t a hit with my folks.

I remember my parents having two bottles of this in the fridge from the time I was like 5 years old until I moved out of their home. If I go look, it may still be there.
I have similar childhood memories about cans of Billy Beer.

My boss gave me a bottle of Lancers as an xmas gift when I was 19 (this was back when 18 was the legal drinking age). He told me it was very special. The power of suggestion combined with the innocence of youth rendered it a great experience! In the interest of full disclosure, my only point of reference at the time was Boone’s Farm.

Yeah… My grandparents used to drink it. And then my grandmother would take the labels off and use the bottles for a vase.

The moderators tell us just to flag and not engage, but I’m going to give you a chance to apologize.

A friend in college was a fan. It may say something that if you google Lancers wine, the first sponsored link is offering to sell you a bottle of the wine for $6.99 and the second sponsored link is offering to sell you an empty bottle for $30.00…

Try Elaine May’s (as ‘Henrietta’ in “A New Leaf”) preferred drink when asked why she didn’t drink grape juice:
“It’s not as sweet. I had never drunk wine at all until I tried Mogen David’s extra heavy Malaga wine with soda and lime juice. It’s delicious. It’s called a Malaga Cooler.”
