I want to find out who was the first to compare someone's kisses to, uh, cherry wine. I've just been down the Majestic Wine Warehouse (and suffered the indignity of being turned away when I marched to the checkout with one solitary bottle, not knowing about the 12-bottle minimum) and I couldn't see a single example of “vin cerise”. I need to find some of the stuff to conduct a practical experiment. Google tells me that at least these FOUR songs compare a woman's lips to cherry wine:

Frank Sinatra – Hair Of God, Eyes Of Blue
Jimmy Dean – Don't Want To Live Without Honey
Oak Ridge Boys – Elvira
Simon & Garfunkel – Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound

.. although there's no record of which alchohol men's lips are supposed to taste of. A can of Hofmeister, probably.

Jermaine Jackson, in the mid 80s, advised us that we didn't have to take our clothes off to have a good time (which is true, as me and my mate Keith proved last night) before suggesting to his beau that they drink some cherry wine.

All very well, Jermaine, but where do you buy it? Hmm??
