I'm looking for song lyrics which refer to wine (and/or grapes.)
I'm trying to come up with a catchy title for an article about wine
and grapes grown in the region where I live, but so far my ideas have
only stretched to "Red, red wine" and "Grape Expectations " (the latter
being a naff pun as opposed to a lyric)
Can someone save my life (or even just my sanity?)

OK here's a couple.

The Wizard of Odd

BOTTLE OF WINE (Tom Paxton)
CHORUS: Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober
Leave me alone, let me go home
I wanna go back and start over

Ramblin' around this dirty old town
Singin' for nickels and dimes
Times getting rough I ain't got enough
To buy me a bottle of wine
CHORUS

Little hotel, older than Hell
Cold and as dark as a mine
Blanket so thin, I lie there and grin
Buy me little bottle of wine
CHORUS

Aches in my head, bugs in my bed
Pants so old that they shine
Out on the street, tell the people I meet
Won’t ya buy me a bottle of wine
CHORUS

Teacher must teach, and the preacher must preach
Miner must dig in the mine
I ride the rods, trusting in God
And hugging my bottle of wine
CHORUS

BOTTLE OF RED WINE - Eric Clapton
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
I can't get up out of bed
With this crazy feeling in my head.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.

Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
You hear what I say?
Gonna love you anyway.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.

I went to an all-night get together
And everyone I knew was there.
Had the love that would last forever.
Everywhere I looked, I saw you standing there.

Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
I can't get up out of bed
With this crazy feeling in my head.
I said get up right now, oh oh.
I said get up right now.
Feel so bad this morning; got a terrible headache in my head.
Do me a favor, baby, do me a favor please.
Please get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
Get up, get up; get your man a big big bottle of red wine.

At first I thought you were asking for songs relating to whine. I would have
suggested going to Alt.CountryMusic.Lyrics or anything by Alanis Morrisette,
Corey Harte or about fourthousand alternative bands out there.

As for wine I can only think of Red Red Wine, Kisses Sweeter than Wine, and aathe
days of Wine and Roses. Boy am I old.

I don't believe I saw the first post...but...

"There's some leftover wine in the cupboard and a half a glass more for the
road, here's a toast to the time we were lovers, then I'm gone...Should I
laugh of should I cry, Love you hate you live or die...Is my heart half full
or half empty, is our love like the wine in this glass, we drink like
there's no tomorrow, so sure, it'd would always last...the memories taste
sweet as they linger, but the bitterness stays on my tongue, is my heart
half full of the love you gave me, or my heart half empty, 'cause your love
is gone..."
