Buckfast, the tonic wine made by monks that has been a much controversial topic in Scotland’s problems with drink and crime, has been tagged as a “worst product” by campaigners in the US.

After a freedom of information request associated with a program on 18 January about Buckfast tonic wine, the BBC claimed that the drink had its name in 5,638 Strathclyde Police crime reports in the period 2006-9.

In addition, the reports also depicted that a Buckfast bottle was used as a weapon on nearly 114 occasions reported.

Moreover, the tonic wine, having its name in nearly 5,000 Strathclyde police crime reports over the past three years, is already in the bad books of the Scottish politicians for containing about 375mg of caffeine per litre.

Marina Kushner, the CAA’s founder, quoted, “If you consume more than one gramme [of caffeine] you can receive irregular heartbeats, panic and anxiety disorders, muscle twitching, incoherent speech, excessive urination, flushed skin, and depression”.

On the other side, it is questioned that there might be a possibility that a few slugs of Buckfast were consumed along with substantial quantities of other products, and possibly drugs.
