Wild Russian Vanya

Wild Russian Vanya was a bumwine vinted and bottled in Georgia USA and sold at beer and wine stores during the late 60's and early 7o's. It was referred to in commercials as WILD RUSSIAN VANYA, WHAT A WINE. It was a fortified wine with about 20% alcohol by volume. Attempts were made to make people think it was a Russian import but it was not. This yellow peach flavored wine was a favorite for some years among the street winos and tramps and a few college students. It went out of production in the late 70's being outcompeted by bumwines such as Thunderbird, Nighttrain, and wild irish rose in price. This hangover inducing concoction is remembered by many and missed by few.
