Red Ned is Australian slang for cheap, rough red wine — the kind that comes in a cask or a bottle with no pretensions, and leaves you regretting it the next morning. The name is affectionate in the way Australians name anything they have a complicated relationship with. It sits alongside plonk and goon in the vocabulary of budget drinking.
We couldn't afford anything better so we cracked a bottle of red Ned and called it a night.
