Goes to my head

Makes me forget that I

Still need her so

 

2. “Tiny Bubbles” – Originally sung by Hawaiian musician Don Ho, the entire song is about drinking wine:

On her black satin sheets is where he started to freak

Yeah, she’ll make you go insane.

 

6. “Low Places” – Not all country songs are about drinking beer or whiskey, even though this popular Garth Brooks song includes all of them, including champagne:

And the fear in his eyes

When I took his glass of champagne

And I toasted you

Said, honey, we may be through

But you’ll never hear me complain

7. “Scenes From an Italian Restaurant” – Billy Joel’s hit song begins with wine:

A bottle of white, a bottle of red

Perhaps a bottle of rose instead

We’ll get a table near the street

In our old familiar place

You and I-face to face

Way down around Vicksburg, around Louisiana way

Where lived the Cajun lady, aboard the Mississippi Queen

You know she was a dancer

She moved better on wine

A glass of wine in her hand

Caught beneath the landslide

In a champagne supernova in the sky

‘Cause all we need is candlelight

You and me, and a bottle of wine

To hold you tonight (oh)
