I disagree with the line in the article that says 'Wine is the drink of choice for poor alcoholics due to its high alcohol content, availability and cheap price.'. Wine is not nearly as cheap per unit of alcohol as hard liquor. I'm not sure what to do with the statement - as I understand it, the reasons a wino drinks wine are because it is reasonably cheap and tasty, but not being one I can't confirm this. Ideas? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.10.25.21 (talk • contribs).

It refers to cheap fortified wines like Night Train. I think you'd have to pay a lot more to get the same amount of alcohol in distilled liquor, because of the higher tax, but I can't say I've been comparison shopping for this type of product. See: bum wine. Phr (talk) 23:29, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
