    Isn't the green bottle the Northern (UK I presume) type, you can pick up the northern type occasionally in offy on Talbot street (down connolly station end)

    Sorry no idea about galway

    The green bottle is for nordies, i think the ingredients and alcohol level are different or something

    There's a fierce amount of laundering the green Buckfast for sale across the border goes on up that way.

    whats the appeal of the green bottles compared to the brown?

    when you screw the cap on and off repeatidly the lid grinds the glass off and you end up having a green mouth.

    good times.

    The Nordie (UK) one is higher in alcohol content and isn't as sweet tasting.

    Supermarkets tend to never stock bottles of buckfast in my experience, one of the very few drinks you can't find in those massive supermarket off licences, aside from that any other regular off-licence should have stacks of them.

    I have a feeling Tesco in Derry sells the stuff in both normal sized and half bottles but I might be wrong. I'll have a look when I'm up on Monday.

    I think the Sainsburys in Newry are too good for buckfast, but ya can get the good (green) stuff in any of the little offy's around Newry, whenever I'm up I usually pop into the off licence beside the pup thats around from the Brass Monkey pub I think it's called or the Drink Link thats on the left as you come off the M1 and go past the roundabout on the way into Newry
