Susan calls the boxed wines "Velveeta Wines"

I've had Thunderbird. Never had the Mad Dog. Never heard of Cisco. However, for cheap drinks (drunks?), nothing in my experience compared to Bertola's, which is/was on the Oakland Berkeley border. In the early '80s, it was .50/.75/1.00 for a single/double/triple out of the well. Cheap even for the standards of the day. Lively place, too, as I dimly recall.

For in room dining, my classy punch of choice was a sangria made with cheap wine that I would liberally season with Canadian Club.

Oh, I do remember. It was a pretty bright red. Like Lavoris, my favorite mouthwash.

Oh golly, I gargled with Lavoris as a kid!!

And Certs. My Grandma always carried Certs in her purse and would give them to us in Church when we were little kids.

Kevy, I am dying over Velveeta wines!! I'm envisioning a white trash wine & cheese tasting hoedown complete with Franzia & Velveeta sampling. Future maid/matron of honor: whoever you are, you now know what to serve at my bridal shower.

And definitely cherry flavored Skoal Bandit for dessert. For those who like to dip, we salute you.
