The consolidation in the liquor business has been incredible. My brother-in-law started off working for Schenley in Lawrenceburg, IN. When that facility was closed he went to another distillery and eventually ended up working for Wild Turkey. At one time Wild Turkey was sold to Diaego who later sold it to its current owner.

Ouch International has recently acquired Thunderbird, Everclear, and Ripple.

I will sell you Boone's Farm to complete the set.

MD 20/20 is taking offers.

Regrettably, the only bidders were Annie Green Springs and Boone's Farm. What swill.

Fuzzy Navels! The massive B&J logo. How could one forget? We had a bar down in Champaign that had a special on Little Kings on Friday nights - 3 for $1. I'm not sure I've seen them since!

Ouch International is more concerned with cornering the micro brew/boutique/single barrel rotgut market.

Do you remember "Matilda Bay" wine coolers? Kind of tropical-kiwi flavor. Actually not bad for what it was. (Better than Bartles and James IMHO)
I got lucky when those more than once in the late 80s....
