Little Old Wine Drinker Me
"Little Old Wine Drinker Me" (sometimes rendered with a comma between the final two words) is a country pop song written in the 1960s by Hank Mills and Dick Jennings. The title parodied what was then a well-known catchphrase in TV commercials for Italian Swiss Colony wine company: "The little old winemaker, me!". The song is about a man trying to drink away his romantic troubles. The song was first released by Charlie Walker in 1966, on the album ''Wine, Woman & Walker''. It became a hit when it was released by Robert Mitchum in early 1967, and by Dean Martin later the same year on his album '' Welcome to My World''. Lefty Frizzell also recorded the song on his 1967 album Puttin 'On. Mitchum's version spent two weeks on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 96, while reaching No. 9 on '' Billboard''s Hot Country Singles chart.
