| When it comes to wine, we use a variety of our | | | | goodie, "Bottle of Wine" pays homage to the fruit |
| senses. Our sense of taste and our sense of | | | | of the vine. But, when Tom sings the "When you |
| smell helps us perceive flavors and aromas, our | | | | gonna let me get sober?" line, we can't help but |
| sense of sight helps us look for legs, helping us to | | | | think he's joking. Seriously Paxton, pour another |
| identify body, and our sense of touch, well, that | | | | drink. |
| just helps us to make sure we grab a glass of | | | | Strawberry Wine (Deana Carter): Even though we |
| wine, and not a can of beer. In fact, there is only | | | | are pretty sure the "Strawberry Wine" in this |
| one sense we don't really use: our sense of | | | | song is likely Boone's Farm, it's still a good tune. It |
| hearing. | | | | talks about first loves, summer nights, and |
| Now, I've done it myself: I've had a few too | | | | remembering when 30 was old. As someone who |
| many glasses of wine, put the glass up to my | | | | turns 30 in a few months, allow me to state that |
| ear, and sworn up and down that I could hear the | | | | 30 is the new 20, oh wait, the new 21. |
| ocean. Except for those rare, okay frequent, | | | | Little Ole Wine Drinker Me (Dean Martin): We can |
| instances, hearing, when it comes to wine, is a bit | | | | only expect a great song from the man who was |
| left out. That is, however, until it "auditions" for | | | | once quoted as saying, "You haven't drunk too |
| inclusion in the form of song. | | | | much wine if you can still lie on the floor without |
| The following is our list of some of the best wine | | | | holding on." Very true Dean, very true. |
| songs to ever grape, er grace, us with their | | | | Champagne Supernova (Oasis): I know that I may |
| presence. | | | | be one of the few people who actually love Oasis |
| Alcohol (Brad Paisley): So, this song might not be | | | | (call me Liam!), but this is a great song. Hopefully |
| just about wine. With lyrics that talk about all | | | | we will all someday find ourselves in a |
| kinds of alcohol, the spotlight isn't on a bottle of | | | | "Champagne Supernova," or at least like a |
| Shiraz doing a rather long, but oddly touching, | | | | Champagne brunch. |
| interpretive dance. Still, any song that gives a | | | | Blood Red Wine (Rolling Stones): Wine's greatest |
| shout out to Bordeaux, France is a must listen for | | | | chance of ever truly rocking out, this song allows |
| the wine lover. Not too bad, Brad. | | | | us to picture a Merlot with a Mohawk, a Pinot with |
| The Wino and I know (Jimmy Buffett): One of | | | | a pierced nose, and a Traminer with a tattoo. |
| the best singers to listen to at any kind of party, | | | | Two More Bottles of Wine (Martina McBride): A |
| Jimmy Buffett delivers a song that acknowledges | | | | tune that teaches us that our lovers can move |
| the wine drinker in all of us. There is, however, | | | | out and, as long as there is wine, everything will |
| one problem: the line "the wino and I," for many | | | | be okay, "Two More Bottles of Wine" would have |
| of us, is redundant. | | | | been just a little bit better if it had replaced the |
| Red Red Wine (UB40): A song that has made | | | | word "bottles" with the word "cases." |
| many of us feel so fine, "Red Red Wine" is just a | | | | Wine, Women an' Song (White Snake): As a |
| fun fun time. We might not know what the heck | | | | female, I might not identify with this song as |
| "Monkey pack him rizla pon the sweet dep line" | | | | much as the male gender. After all, it talks |
| means, but who cares: let's just focus on | | | | zealously about landing a good woman. But, who |
| memorizing the rest of the song's rap section. | | | | cares: I can turn lesbian for one article and chalk it |
| Bottle of Wine (Tom Paxton): An oldie, but a | | | | up to experimentation. |
