Buckfast fan group launches ‘Find Me Bucky’ app to allow drinkers to locate nearest supplier

The announcement has come from Wreck the Hoose Juice, the most-followed Buckfast page on the Internet and the group also responsible for creating the annual World Buckfast Day.

The first-ever app of its kind, Find Me Bucky aims to help drinkers find the wine, not just around the UK and Ireland, but across the world.

Available for both Android and Apple phones, the app’s creators have said they have close to 1,000 locations, “ranging from Belfast to the Bahamas, Ayia Napa to Ayr, London to Lanark, and from Scarborough to Sydney.”

They are also still in the process of contacting around 10,000 suppliers.

Wreck the Hoose Juice added: “The app uses your current location and tells you where the nearest Bucky retailers are and how much they are selling it for.

“You can also search by location so that, if you’re planning a trip away, you’ll be able to locate Bucky with ease.”

The locations can be updated by the user and, if they find a new location that is not included on the map, then they can submit a new entry.

If users also find that the price has went up or down, that can be changed too.

All new entries will be verified by the creative team with the retailer themselves “so the more details the better.”

The app, along with the data, will be updated on a continuous basis, so that the team will eventually have all Buckfast retailer locations plotted on the map.

“Buckateers who misuse this feature will have their access to add new entries blocked. We don’t want people walking out into the middle of nowhere on the hunt for a bottle of the finest,” users added.
