Thunderbird (wine)

Thunderbird (The American Classic) is an inexpensive fortified wine brand of E. & J. Gallo Winery in the United States. The wine is sold at between 13 and 17.5% ABV and first became popular in the 1950s. It is somewhat notorious for being a popular choice of alcohol for underage American drinkers, along with Boone's Farm, and a perennial favorite of the stereotypical American "wino".
