Two-Buck-Chuck
An Australian slang word for a bottle of extremely
cheap and nasty wine. Often confused with 'goon'.Due to high alcohol taxes in Australia, despite the name,
two-buck-chuck which once would've cost $2, may now cost anywhere up to $5.The name is derived from its affect on the
consumer, as drinking it very fast is potent and often makes the consumer quickly drunk and vomit violently.It is often drunk for these above reasons- to get inebriated quickly and frugally.Additonally- the action of vomiting quickly to sober yourself up, and to get back to partying is called having a "power-chuck".

Charles
Shaw once started a
winery. He
owned it with his wife and 5 children. Due to the financial troubles associated with the winery, his wife wanted a divorce. As part of the divorce settlement, she acquired the winery. As a result of how hurt he was by the divorce, he lowered the price of the wine to $2 thinking she wouldn't make any money and never get out of the pile of debt the winery had cost them. Little did he know of how successful it would be.
