personaly, my tastes run towards lambic, which is technicaly a beer imported from belgium.

Not quite. The bulk of Lambics are crafted in Belgium, this is true. Not all Belgian Beers are Lambics. Lambic specifically refers to a style of beer that is fermented by wild yeast (as in yeast is not added in the brewing process, it comes from the outside environment) and these beers often are also flavored with fruit.

Wild... yeast... not added... so do they brew it in some kind of horrible, man-killing yeast-cloud, or what? Seems like that'd be expensive.

at the local wine store (where they stock lambic), theres a brand called 'cheap red wine'.

Sold.

...I've seen it too.

There has been a rash of overly "cheeky" wine brand names as of late like:

Big House Red
Big Ass
Wine by Joe

or cheecky nicknames. Charles Shaw I think got the nickname 2 buck chuck. Since at trader joes it was sold at 2$ a bottle.

Not a wine person, occasionally I'll drink port whcih IMO is totally different. For me wine is just there to make sangria. Now beer and hard booze oh yeah. Gosslings rum, old portero rye whisky, various barley wines are all yummy. As long as my liver markers keep coming up 17/17 I'll keep drinking.

I'm with you on the liquor, and that brings up questions of Awakened or genetically modified sugar canes, wheat, corn, potatoes, agave, etc, as well as the horrible, man-killing yeast-cloud plague of 2038, which decimated the population of three counties in Kentucky.

Wine, is my estimation, is mostly just good for making Brutal Hammers (one glass half decent vodka, half robust red). They're the ultimate weapon in drinking competitions.

The stuff is pretty expensive, at least compared to other beers. Methods vary but some I've come accross in research involve using the same brewing vessel year in and year out, without sanitizing to kill the yeast culture in between or leaving the brew in a well ventilated upper floor room. At least those are traditional methods, commercial brewers may well be using a yeast culture derived from a strain found in one of the traditional ways. The fruit is probably added to hide undesirable flavors from the wild yeast.
