This name of this thread should actually be, "Some facts that I bet you never knew about the Ernest & Julio Gallo Winery."

Actors named Bartles & Jaymes promoted their brand of "wine coolers" on television almost three decades ago. They were such a success that the company producing the wine coolers changed their name to Gallo.

From Wikipedia:
The product line is well remembered for its folksy television commercials which ran from 1984 to 1991. Two older gentlemen characters, Frank Bartles and Ed Jaymes (played by David Joseph Rufkahr and Dick Maugg, respectively), sat on a front porch and related their new discoveries or projects on which they were working. The characters were patterned after two men who started a little winery which eventually became the Ernest & Julio Gallo Winery. Bartles did all the talking, and ended each commercial with the tagline, "Thank you for your support."

Flavors include Strawberry Daiquiri, Fuzzy Navel, Exotic Berry, Margarita, Piña Colada, Classic Original, Tropical Mango, Blue Hawaiian, Strawberry Margarita, Raspberry Pomegranate, Body Shot Lime, Mojito, and Sangria.
 
I remember a girlfriend puking Bartles and Jaymes Fuzzy Navel and spaghetti all over the front seat of my car about 23 years ago.
 
Catch me up to speed, I have been on a galaxy far far away. They do not make these Bartles and James anymore or now they are known as Gallo. I enjoyed these once in a while. About all I liked....and thank you for your support.

There is no longer wine in wine coolers. It is a malt beverage. Cheaper to make and less taxed by the Feds
 
I remember those guys.

Wine coolers went the way of the dodo and got replaced by things like Mike's Hard Lemonade and JD's twisted Teas.

Lately the Smirnoff Ice line has that market they have all these flavors like Grape and apple and cherry.

They're like jolly ranchers with a kick!

I mean.....I've never drank anything like that, but its um...what I've heard

When I'm not drinking my sissy smirnoff's I'm a JD guy, Jack has never let me down, I have never once gotten sick from it or so scorched I can't remember anything.

True, free is free.

Last season I walk up to the bar and these two hells angels rejects are sitting there and I order one of my smirnoff's.

When the bartender brings it he also brings them two beers and one guy tells the other its on him.

so I get my drink and one of them says, "Why don't you drink a man's drink" holding up his beer.

I smile and say "Now is it really a man's drink when your boyfriend buys it for you?"
