Oh corkage!

Wow, what a story, and to be honest, not at all too surprising. I had heard musings of this kind before, so it is very interesting to have it confirmed.

So, I don't know about everyone, but I am very excited to see 'Bottle Shock'. Has anyone seen it yet? Any thoughts or reviews? let us know! :)

So today, out of curiosity and not any political motivations, I was looking at Meghan McCain's blog. I found it to be really interesting, and my favorite part, as a fellow music addict, was her playlists and song of the day. So, stealing some inspiration from her, below is a list of some of the best "wine songs" out there. Listen, savor, and enjoy.

--(I haven't heard all the songs on the list, but here is a longer version...http://www.wineintro.com/quotes/songs/)

*Champagne Supernova by Oasis
"Some day you will find me caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova - A champagne supernova in the sky"

*Old Red Wine by The Who
"Old red wine, not worth a dime; we'll have to finish it after crossing the line."

*Red, Red Wine by UB40, lyrics and melody by Neil Diamond
"Red, red wine it make me feel so fine ..."

*Spill the Wine by War
"Spill the wine, and take that pearl ..."

--And songs with "wine" in the lyrics (complete list http://www.wineintro.com/quotes/songs/lyrics.html)

*Big Shot by Billy Joel
"You had the Dom Perignon in your hand and the spoon up your nose"

*Hotel California by the Eagles
"Please bring me my wine, he said 'We haven't had that spirit here since 1969'" ... and "Pink Champagne on Ice .."

*Ironic by Alanis Morrisette
"it's a black fly in your chardonnay"

*Joy to the World by Three Dog Night
"Jeremiah was a bull frog.
Was a good friend of mine.
Never understood a single word he said,
but he always had some mighty fine wine."

*Killer Queen by Queen
"She keeps Moet et Chandon in a pretty cabinet"
(Moet et Chandon is a brand of Champagne)

*Lady Marmalade by Christina Aguilera etc.
"boy drank all that magnolia wine"
"we drink wine with diamonds in the glass"

*Livin' La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin
"She never drinks the water, makes you order French Champagne"

A very interesting, and fairly optimistic, article about the increase in wine consumption. Yay for wine!
