And in case you're wondering, actor James Mason was involved in a costly divorce from his wife and was absolutely desperate for cash. Yes, he must have been DESPERATE to cut that commercial.

Ripple led to a brand new set of mixed or aged drinks:

Flatipple sangria & Ripple

Champipple: Champagne & Ripple. Or, Ginger Ale & Ripple.

Manischipple: Manischewitz & Ripple.

Beaujolipple: Beaujolais & Ripple.

Cripple: Cream & Ripple.

Stripple: Straight Ripple.

Flapple: Flat Ripple. Or, Sangria.

Muscatipple: Muscatel & Ripple.

All were guaranteed to “add” to the taste of the original. Anything would be appreciated.

Apparently there was one called the 7 litre Ford when it had the 428

I bought a 428 in a Mercury for a Thunderbird project I never was able to finish.

I also had a 429 Thunderbird.

I miss those days in America.

Somehow I’m thinking of Frank Zappa and “White Port and Lemon Juice”

You must have watched a lot of Sanford and Son. Most of those were concoctions of Fred G Sanford

Yeah, he couldn’t even get to the end where he says “we will sell no wine (grunt, grunt) before its time “.

I have to say, he did not lie.

He did not lie until he said the last word in the commercial, which was “delightful”.

What happened to Battles & James?

The Mexicans call that drink “Dos Okies”

“You must have watched a lot of Sanford and Son.”

Used to drink a lot of wine and in college it was a cheap distraction.

“What happened to Battles & James?”

Bartles & Jaymes is now canned, of course, because every alcoholic beverage must be canned these days (in pleasant white cans if possible). The cans have a scant 4% ABV and, again like hard seltzer, they’re low-sugar and low-cal; just 120 calories, far less than they were in the 1980s.

But, as usual, what happened was that on January 1, 1991, Congress gave drinkers the most brutal hangover ever to start a new year: The nation’s excise tax on wine was raised from $0.17 per gallon to a whopping $1.07. It suddenly became a quite expensive proposition to blend cheap wine with nuclear-red strawberry flavoring.

The clever way around that tax? Eliminate the wine. That, in turn, spawned the rise of malt-based beverages—“alcopops,” if you will—like Zima, Smirnoff Ice, and Mike’s Hard Lemonade that tasted like the wine coolers people had spent the ’80s falling in love with, but were taxed like beer. They were big hits on the fake ID circuit and spelled the end of wine coolers.

You would have thought Bartles & Jaymes then ceased to exist. Instead, quietly, it too quickly transitioned to being a wine-free “malternative” beverage in late 1991. It’s not near what it was in the 80’s. but it’s still on the shelf in a lot of places.
