Pros: LOTS of ALCOHOL.
Cons: CONS? Who could have a con about this?
The Bottom Line: This has got to be at the top of any wine tasters list. There is nothing like the Boones Farm and Night Train Express.

| doctorjeep's Full Review: Boone's Farm Wine |
Oh Jesus. How could you possibly get through life without having a swig from a fifth of Night Train Express or Boones Farm? In my town a fifth only goes for $1.22, and most people consider that to be outrageous. My father goes through two or three bottles a night, which proves that even a burned out drunk can have an appreciation of a fine after dinner (or forgotten dinner) wine.
What is it like…well for a dollar twenty-two you should be able to imagine what its like. Gasoline and Grape juice is one way to describe it. The wino’s call it Grape-*hit instead of bull-*hit, or cheap-*hit, but with 37% alcohol (which is roughly 78 proof) who could possibly deny that when on a budget of food stamps this has got to be the best thing going. I mean who can find a pack of smokes that cost that much? If you did you’d be smoken’ dope or lawn clippings.
How does it go down? Well, not many wine coinsures will consider Night Train Express or Boones Farm for a wine tasting (competition?) event. I really don’t know why. Possibly these snobs would loose all sense of taste and have to call Boones Farm or Night Train Express the default winner because they wouldn’t be able to measure it against anything else.
They should include wines such as Cisco, Thunder Bird, Hiawatha, Eagle Eye, and so forth. The fortified wines are continually snubbed by the snobby major market brands. What happened to the taste for a grape-and-rubbing-alcohol vintage drawn not twelve days before it’s sale?
My opinion of Night Train: For $1.22 it is the best bottle of liquor (wine) that your money can buy. When on a budget of two dollars, you can get a bottle of Night Train and a couple of Goodies powders for the morning after. Hell, if it’s gov-ment check day you could also get a Ho*ker to boot, but yah better factor in another bottle of Night Train Express to make everything go as planed for a night you won’t remember and will cost less than ten bucks.
