How can you pass on a fine wine like MD?
Here's the review from bum wine. . . it's "majestic", man.

http://bumwine.com/md2020.html
"As majestic as the cascading waters of a drain pipe, MD 20/20 is
bottled by the 20/20 wine company in Westfield, New York. This is a
good place to start for the street wine rookie, but beware; this dog
has a bite to back up its bark. MD Stands for Mogen David, and is
affectionately called "Mad Dog 20/20". You'll find this beverage as
often in a bum's nest as in the rock quarry where the high school kids
sneak off to drink. This beverage is likely the most consumed by
non-bums, but that doesn't stop any bums from drinking it! Our
research indicates that MD 20/20 is the best of the bum wines at
making you feel warm inside. Some test subjects report a slight
numbing agent in MD 20/20, similar to the banana paste that the
dentist puts in your mouth before injecting it with novocain. Anyone
that can afford a dentist should steer clear of this disaster.
Available in various nauseating tropical flavors that coat your whole
system like bathtub scum, but only the full "Red Grape Wine" flavor
packs the 18% wallop.

Liquor stores are starting to be infiltrated by a 13% variety of
MD 20/20 Red Grape. There is also a new "Blue Raspberry" flavor with
"BLING BLING". Even the lowest functioning of bums will know not to
get swindled out of 5%."
