Vatersay is an inhabited island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Vatersay is also the name of the only village on the island. The island has remains of an Iron Age broch at Dun a' Chaolais overlooking the Sound of Vatersay and nearby is a passage grave dated to the 3rd millennium BC. There is also a Bronze Age cemetery at Treasabhaig south of the heights of Theiseabhal Mòr and a cairn built circa 1000 BC west of the village of Vatersay. The offshore islet of Biruaslum has a walled fort that may be of Neolithic provenance.

Those are some old ruins.
I'll just skip the cheap wine, thanks.
We have something called Passion Pop which sounds very similar.
The Spanish Costas whole economy depends on aeroplanes arriving from Prestwick, depositing 'Plonkers' who leave any semblance of sanity back in the airport lounge and drinking gallons of Vino Collapso.
(Research based on personal experience)
All things in moderation, unless you want to poison someone of course.
It took me a long time to like wine.
This is so awesome Lass haha, next time I'm talking about Buckfast I'm going to refer to it as Vino Callapso haha, absolutely love it.
:)
Oh I'm so using Vino Callapso next time my hubbie wants wine.
Never heard of vino collapso, but if you want to try cheap wine, got to Malta, in the 60's they had some stuff which was half a crown a bottle. Real rotgut.
JO ON FOOD, MY TRAVELS AND A SCENT OF CHOCOLATE
I'm enjoying a glass of wine right now.
I love reading the usage. I can totally hear it being spoken in my mind. And then the translation just adds to the humor.
