Louise White asks whether Buckfast deserve its reputation in Scotland.
Scottish Labour has been warned it would face a legal challenge from Buckfast if it attempts to impose a limit on caffeine in alcoholic drinks.
JC Chandler, which distributes the drink in Scotland, also said Buckfast was less closely linked to crime than lager.
And Police Scotland have apologised to Buckfast's distributors for asking a shopkeeper to stop selling the product. The force has also agreed not to include the tonic wine in any bottle-marking scheme unless it has "reasonable grounds" for doing so.
