Meanwhile back in Devon the Buckfast monks are struggling to hold onto their charitable status. In order to 'advance the Roman Catholic faith' they produce Buckfast Tonic Wine/Buckie/'commotion lotion'/'wreck the hoose juice'/bottles of 'what the hell are you looking at?', with the unofficial slogan 'Buckfast: gets you fucked fast'. The 15% proof, caffeinated fortified wine has been linked in Scotland to 6500 reports of antisocial behaviour and violence in the last two years. With reported sales of £43.2 million last year, charitable status is worth a tidy sum, since it exempts them from paying any tax on this income.
