\u201cStrawberries, cherries and an angel’s kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is how \u201cSummer Wine<\/strong>\u201d<\/em> begins, the famous song by composer Lee Hazlewood and performed by Nancy Sinatra, which tells a love story through the metaphor of wine. A song that, in particular, sets the tone for the relationship between wine and music. This is a good example, but not the only one. There are many great ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRed, Red Wine<\/strong>,\u201d recorded in 1968 by Neil Diamond, although masterfully covered by UB40 in 1983, is an ode to wine and its effects in helping to forget heartbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWine, Women and Song<\/strong>\u201d (1963), by Elvis Presley, is another classic song in which wine joins money and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI Toast to Women<\/strong>,\u201d from 1993 by Los Rodr\u00edguez, is a tribute to life, with wine as the drink used to toast\u2014highlighting wine as a source of happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Spain, we also have a good number of examples, as expected given our winemaking tradition. Songs such as \u201cBitter Wine<\/strong>\u201d by Rafael Farina, or \u201cSighs of Spain<\/strong>\u201d by Estrellita Castro, paved the musical way. More recently, we have \u201cRed Wine<\/strong>\u201d by Estopa; \u201cThe Spirit of Wine<\/strong>\u201d by H\u00e9roes del Silencio; or \u201cLove of Wine<\/strong>\u201d by Celtas Cortos, with its famous chorus: On another note, there is the influence of music on winemaking. There are quite a few wineries where, during aging, musical pieces are played in search of beneficial effects\u2014though these are not scientifically proven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I turn up the volume and keep listening to Nancy Sinatra\u2019s voice with the wonderful \u201cSummer Wine\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStrawberries, cherries and an angel’s kiss in spring<\/p>\n\n\n\n My summer wine is really made from all these things<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time<\/p>\n\n\n\n And I will give you my summer wine.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wine has inspired countless songs throughout history, becoming a symbol of love, heartbreak, and celebration.
