I have used, and heard used, the word "plonk" to mean "cheap wine", as
in "two buck chuck" (although I understand that 2BC is a specific cheap
wine).

However, in perusing a Spanish/English dictionary, I came across an
entry saying that "plonk" is English for wine, with no notation of
quality. Well, hmmmm..

So I went to my dictionary of slang and found the same thing... it comes
from Austrailia/NewZealand in the early part of the 20th century. It
started out meaning "cheap port", and by extension, =any= wine. By 1975
the beatniks used it for any cheap and readily available alcoholic
drink. But nowhere does it mention "cheap wine" as its own sense of
meaning.

So... how do you folks use the term?
