Ahhh, looks like a Green Death bottle.
Pick Axe branded. I think West End and Southwark used Pick Axe bottles.
Certainly did, would've had the old styled ring pull:

Now who didn't want a motor bike made out of those ring pulls in the 80's?

You'd go from seemingly fine to absolutely blotto instantly, reminded me of the teenage days drinking Mississippi Moonshine or Nikov Vodka and Orange.
Nikov.
I used to drink that crap as a teenager at the sky shows they use to have at bonython park

It was violent, my first powerchuck. I threw up 3 days after drinking it as I walked into a friends house on a hot day and could smell oranges.
I have never been able to have OJ with alcohol since.

When I first started drinking at the Hilton ( South Road ) when I was 16 an old bloke, Peewee, sat at the end of the old oval shaped front bar in the middle of the room drinking $2 pints of Port all night, every night.

I must say I'm sort of glad she has been "from home" this week, the slow cooker has had a few guernsey's this week.

Ventured into my local Dans yesterday. Picked up a few bottles of Riddoch Coonawarra 2014 Cabernet Sauvignons for $16 absolute bargain. Cracking one tonight to wash down the roast lamb.

Wirra Wirra Adelaide Shiraz to go with the home made pizzas.
Thanks to @DOC who put me on to this. I’ve never had a $10 bottle of red so good.

For those here that don't mind a red, Accolade Wines here in the Riverland have a dozen of their premium cleanskins shiraz from McLaren Vale for $84 a dozen. For $7 a bottle, it's bloody good red. It's my go to red at the moment. I'm sure they'd be able to get it down that way to u if u wanted a taste. I love my red and this is good stuff.
