Buckfast seemed to have a revival recently (or at least it did in some of my friend groups). I thought I'd happily left it behind as a University drink but people started to bring it to house parties and using it for cocktails over the last couple of years. Or Sanatogen if they fancied a cheaper off brand night. They all seem to have moved on to Magnum now though which tastes even worse I think.
Similarly a friend has started to big up Dragon Soop for some reason despite it being, again from University memory, an absolutely horrific drink.

Sounds very like my friendship group. I'd say from about 26 to 32 we would start the night off with a bottle of Buckfast 'ironically'. I swore off it after waking up at about 4pm with heart palpitations and realising it would probably kill me.
I only experienced Dragon Soop once, and that was when a friend went back to uni at 28 to do a medicine degree and we descended on his halls and generally terrified his clean living fresher housemates with our rowdy ways. I blame coming of age at peak alcohol...

I could never taste the difference between any of them, for some reason we just took to the frosty Jack brand. I’m sure there’s a module for a marketing course in there somewhere.
Now you’ve moved the conversation onto fortified wine that opens up a whole new raft of memories. We tried mulling Buckfast one Christmas, which was surprisingly pleasant…
