Wine puns

23 puns

Wine puns are for anyone who takes their evening seriously and their vocabulary even more so, starting with "everything happens for a riesling." This category rounds up wordplay perfect for wine labels, dinner party toasts, or a caption on tonight's glass, with plenty of grape-adjacent humor and a few "pour decisions" thrown in for good measure. Wine terminology (riesling, merlot, vintage, pour) is a gift to pun writers, which is why this list has stayed a favorite on menus and coasters for years. Use these for a wine tasting invite, a bottle label, or just a toast among friends. Sip through the full list of wine puns below.
