Ripple was an inexpensive fortified wine produced by E & J Gallo Winery[1] that was popular among certain social classes in the United States, particularly in the 1970s. Due to its high alcohol content and low price, it had a reputation as a drink for alcoholics and the destitute. It was popular among young drinkers, both underage and college students. It is no longer produced.

This is according to Wikipedia which, I have been informed, is not an accurate source of information.
