BuckFast and Furious

How could the headline

Tonic wine monks attacked by bishop over Buckfast

not catch my eye?

Whereas the Right Rev Bob Gillies, Bishop of Aberdeen and Orkney (Scottish Episcopal Church), is casting stones at the Benedictine order of monks responsible for Buckfast Tonic Wine, stating that “St. Benedict would have been very, very unhappy with what his monks are doing nowadays”.

Decanter reports on the 15%-proof Buckie, the good Rev, and the Benedictine monks’ reactions  here.
