Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Plonk is an unspecific and derogatory term in British and Australian English for wine that is notably inexpensive or judged to be of poor quality. It is believed to come from Australian slang, in reference to blanc (the French word for white ), before it became naturalised in Britain. Stereotypical examples of plonk in the British context would include Blue Nun or Liebfraumilch, both sweet German wines, although Spanish wine is often also a target. Despite the reference to the colour white, the term is not limited to white wine, and can as easily indicate a red wine or ros. In this context, the phrase has even spawned the title of a novel which evokes the perceived tackiness of the 1980s. Plonk that is packaged & sold in a cask, is referred to as Goon.
