Charles Shaw -- a dirt-cheap (but better than you'd expect) wine you can get at Trader Joe's for $2 a bottle in Cali. A little more expensive elsewhere.
Let's see. we got the PBR, the two-buck Chuck, burgers and fries from Mickey D's... Okay, go let Queen Elizabeth in for dinner, now, Laura.

The $2.99 wines from the maker Charles Shaw (hence Chuck) found exclusively at Trader Joe's across the nation.

A wine of various types by Charles Shaw (Chuck) which is sold for $1.99 a bottle at the Trader Joe's grocery store chain in California, with bottles by the hundreds, possibly thousands, in plain sight at these locations. It is surprisingly decent and is a nice cheap way to buy booze as long as you don't care what it is.
Friend: Why do you have wine?
Me: How about because bottles of wine are the same as about 5 beers, these are two dollars each, and I still can still eat once I'm starving. And also because I don't care what you think. So I bought 2 buck chuck.
Friend: True, good point.

(Australian) - any cheap and nasty booze that gets you totally off your guts.
This is not related to the Seppo version of "two buck chuck" where the chuck refers to the specific brand of booze (Charles Swan). The "chuck" in Australia refers to the act of vomiting, which an average bottle of this stuff will do to you.
There are many types of cheap stuff for around five bucks a bottle, but as a pre-requisite they must smell and taste like a blend of juniper berries and paint stripper.
As favoured by 16-year-olds everywhere.

Classic examples of five buck chuck drinks: Spumante, Passion Pop, Mississippi Moonshine, or anything in a cask (goon).

An Australian slang word for a bottle of extremely cheap and nasty wine. Often confused with 'goon'.
Due to high alcohol taxes in Australia, despite the name, two-buck-chuck which once would've cost $2, may now cost anywhere up to $5.
The name is derived from its affect on the consumer, as drinking it very fast is potent and often makes the consumer quickly drunk and vomit violently.
It is often drunk for these above reasons- to get inebriated quickly and frugally.
Additonally- the action of vomiting quickly to sober yourself up, and to get back to partying is called having a "power-chuck".

"Do you want to get pre-drinks, before we got out?" "Nah, no time mate, I'm just gonna down a bottle of two-buck-chuck"
