BUCKIE fans across the world are being urged to take part in a national day of celebration for the cult booze this Saturday.

National Buckfast Day takes place on Saturday, May 14 - and for the first time the organiser is asking the world to take part in the event.

Around 25,000 people celebrated the first event last year, and now the organiser has decided to go global. 

Organizer Mark Onk said: “Some Scottish politicians wanted to ban Bucky blaming it on anti-social behaviour. This clearly shows how Buckfast can bring people together.

"Last year we had people from as far away as Brazil and Australia joining in on the festivities. With young people going abroad to study and work Buckfast is now enjoying an international cult following.“

Mark added: “WBD can be celebrated any way you want, anywhere you want, as long as you are indulging in the fine wine and enjoying yourself.”

‘Buckateers’ are encouraged to take part in the event by registering on the Wreck The Hoose Juice Facebook page here
