    Well it's very cheap and it is low in alcohol so many people who wouldn't normally drink liked it?
    I guess it somehow became a tradition too.

    I'd say it was an introduction to wine for a lot of Irish people, myself included.

    Liebfraumilch is still around!

    The name means "milk of the beloved wife" and there is a legend/folklore that drinking it will help a woman to get pregnant.

    Mind you, if trying for that result, it's probably best if the husband doesn't drink too much of it ;)
