Owned and made by a New York based wine company, the MD refers to the company name, Mogen David rather than the commonly perceived Mad Dog.

Although MD 20/20 has been enjoyed in Scotland for years, it is not as fondly known or remembered in its home country of America and is often referred to as bum wine, a term used to describe any fortified, high alcohol, low cost drink.
