    That aint too clever mate, you'll kill yourself doing that, all joking aside. That stuff aint made to be downed that quickly. :38:

    I loved buckie when I was younger and we always used to compare numbers thinking it had some meaning. :56:

    I only really drink it on 'special occasions' now, like old firm games :icon_mrgreen:

    Numbering doesn't mean anything other than what Marie said. Buckfast doesn't agree with me so I don't drink it.

    my guess would be if there was a fault with a batch they can trace which bottle mould is damaged but im no expert

    Tastes like alcoholic syrup but it has to be done for things like TITP and huns games where it's crucial to morph into a semi-bam for a short period of time.

    Lower the number on the bottle, the stronger the contents.

    I say we email buckfast for an official answer since we have multi-theories. :50:

    Bottles are filled from the bottom of the vat up

    Alcohol and caffeine etc settle to the bottom of the vat so the bottles with the lower numbers are slightly 'stronger'.

    Was googling to find out the reason for the bottle numbers and this was the 2nd link.

    "Semi bam" :56:

    "“Do you know much about the tonic wine?”, I asked the youngish guy behind the counter, motioning to the shelves beside him.

    “Oh well a bit, but there’s something about the numbers isn’t there? They go from 1 to 29 and they’re meant to mean something?”, he replied.

    Turns out that people with Scottish accents ask this quite a lot, or at least they did “in the summer”. So what’s the deal with it then? Are the legends passed down by generations of scholars of saccharine swally correct in their assertions, is it really an indicator of thickness, flavour or how MWI you get from a particular digit? Or is it some kinda Da Vinci Code *, a cryptic clue pointing towards holy scriptures?

    “No, it doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a batch number. There’s something like 29 bottling machines and a number for each one. That’s all.”

    This was not the answer I had journeyed to Buckfast for. Had I just trekked across Middle Earth only to find out Mordor is imaginary? Followed the Yellow Brick road to discover that the Wizard of Oz doesn’t really have any magical powers after all? I purchased a biro and left."
