Your favorite song about WINE?

Post by Peter Reutter »

It's that time of the year again: misty mornings, cold and windy afternoons and I am sitting with a glass of wine at the window, listening to a couple of CDs while watching the leaves dancing though the garden...

Right now my two favorite wine-songs are:

Niila: Bottle of wine

Kisses sweeter than wine (sung by a lot of people/groups, but I like PPM best)

The original recording had been done by the Weavers, read more about them at wikipedia:

I was wondering: what is your favorite song related to wine?

I also like Red Red Wine, but prefer the Reggae version of it. Not that there's anything wrong with Neil Diamond. [shok.gif]

There's always Drinking wine spo-dee-odee. I like the Jerry Lee Lewis version, but there are dozens of others.

Wow, Peter W... One Jerry Lee song I did not know.

Met him the other day here in Norway and I sang a verse of "What made Milwaukee famous, made a fool of me " [kez_11.gif] . But that is not about wine... He smiled and really enjoyed my version...What a guy...

A few verses that come to mind:

Tonight when I chase the dragon
The water will change to cherry wine
And the silver will turn to gold
Time out of mind

and

Worry the bottle Mamma, it's grapefruit wine
Kick off your high heel sneakers, it's party time
The girls don't seem to care what's on
As long as it plays till dawn
Nothin' but blues and Elvis
And somebody else's favorite song

and

Spent my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine
Made up my mind to make a new start
Going To California with an aching in my heart
