LOL! For sure. "Has a nice fruity taste with a hint of mischief."
Then it turns out to be Boone's Farm Strawberry wine. lol

Back in the mid 1970's I hosted a New Years Eve party.
We were all drinking the cheap champagne - like $3 a bottle.
Then our richie-rich friend showed up with a $100 bottle of
Dom Perignon champagne swiped from his dad's wine cellar.
We all got to taste and 100% agreed that the cheap stuff
tasted better. Go figure.

I've done blind taste tests twice here on my own.
Once was root beer. I bought 5 kinds and picked "Dad's Root Beer"
as the winner. A&W came in second.

Then I did one between worcestershire sauce. L&P and Frenchs.
I was surprised that the French's won. The L&P had a very weird
sweet taste compared to the French's more salty taste.
This was about 2 years ago. I think L&P has changed their recipe.
I did read a mention about that once. It also mentioned that
they sell different versions in the USA vs the UK.
Anyway, I always bought L&P until I did that taste test.
Now I just buy Everyday essential generic. You know it's
made by one of those companies. My guess is French's
