ha ha ha... the worst wine you'll ever drink. Get a Brew King kit. Excellent wine for around ~2 /btl.

I've actually tried this a few years ago! The guy who runs that company has a little industrial unit here in Burlington, he's a crotchety old bugger, looks half dead already. I picked up a kit right from his unit (can't even call it a store, you have to pound on a steel door to get in).
Verdict: it's definitely not great, but it's also not undrinkable! I call it 'crack wine', you get really hammered on it, 12% my ass.
Anyways, I never bought any more, my wife refused to drink it, and hell, life is just to short too drink barely drinkable plonk. Nowadays I make my own wine in my basement using high quality juice, still pretty cheap, but the wine is way better.
Conclusion: Wonderwine is probably best for poor students, for whom getting loaded for cheap is the only goal.

According to his website, he's now moved to Consort Crescent, which is a residential road east of Guelph Line and north of Mainway. Actually, that would put him almost walking distance from the Pentecostal Church/Senior's Home :cheesygri

That would make sense, then!
The guy sells this stuff all over the country, especially in rural areas where no liquor stores are close by. The general stores in outport fishing villages in Newfoundland are always stocked with it, I noticed.
