The wine is produced in a variety of flavors, sold in 750ml bottles, and alcohol content varies by flavor from 13% ABV to 18% ABV.[3] Like competitors Thunderbird and Night Train Express, its sweet flavors, strength and low cost are often associated with alcoholism among the homeless and destitute[1] but also make it popular with college students and other underage drinkers.[3]
Despite being made in the US, MD 20/20 enjoys a cult following in Scotland. In 2019, after a new flavor "Electric Melon" became available, patrons lined up around the block at shops to purchase the beverage; in some cases, the crowds were so large they blocked traffic.[4]
