Wine snobs look down on those who savor wine, just for the flavor, who don't care what grapes were used. But simple pleasures are the best. Analyzing only diistracts from the enjoyment.

Oh, grapevines divine When I in awesome wonder Consume the wines from which your grapes are made My taste buds erupt in sparkling praise and accolades And my comments though simple, they bubble forth and I say. Refill my glass, with six ounces please. I can’t get enough I can’t get enough Oh, Champagne, so heavenly, Your bubbles erupt such joy in me. I drink you slow; nothing else passes my lips you see I savor the flavor of your purity. Not a single morsel of food will taint thee. It would be sacrilege and disrespect by me. Refill my glass, with six ounces please. I can’t get enough. I cannot get enough Oh, Champagne, so heavenly. Your bubbles erupt such joy in me.

Back in the sixties, a group known as Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs had a successful single release titled "Bottle of Wine". Your poetic piece reminded me of that blast from the past. I read this poem to the tune of the hymn. This is a very imaginative write.
