Scottish slang for strong fortified wine — the kind of cheap, high-alcohol wine associated with street drinking and heavy inebriation. The 'electric' element suggests the powerful, jolting effect of the drink. Terms like this cluster around specific products like Buckfast Tonic Wine, though electric soup is a general label. Used with dark humor about serious drinking culture, not as a casual compliment to a wine.
He was propped against the wall outside with a bottle of electric soup and a look of complete serenity.
