Re: (...)
Some were risque--quite funny--here's one they published on page 168--
If you can't get your date to undress, go
And buy her a fine Barbaresco
Get the girl sipping
And soon she'll be stripping
And begging to do it alfresco
Jennifer Chotzi Rosen, Denver
And another
I have an untamed predilection
for building a vast wine colletion.
But my wife is incensed
O're the vinous expense.
'Tis a shame; I shall miss her affection.
Michael Brooks, Richmond
Just for fun. Anybody know another.

I've only ever written one limerick, but it's not about wine:
When asked, "Why the hat late at night?"
The gentleman told of his plight:
"I'm not incognito,
just anti-mosquito,
'cause those little suckers can bite!"
Otherwise, my drinking-relate piece (not a limerick) was something I put into an earlier message:
The drunk coldly listened without consternation -
Their comments he would merely snub.
He knew that his drinking was in Moderation,
for that was the name of the pub.

Borderline-by definition--
Dorothy Parker--Algonquin Hotel, NYC-- circa 1926
"I love a martini,
two at the most,
three I'm under the table,
four I'm under the host."
They still print that on the napkins in the bar.

Okay. Just had to write one for the occasion:
When cooking a dish made with wine,
the chef used not one ounce, but nine.
He later confessed
he had drunken the rest,
and completely forgotten to dine.

One more--then to bed--
"98" said the wine-sipping clod.
"98" chimed his friend with a nod.
But 'twas not what it seemed,
For the wine they esteemed
Had been poured from the spit cup. How odd!

This one may be a bit weak, but I wish I had known about that challenge: it could have given me some more time to practice.
Indulging his favourite snobbery,
the winebibber had become slobbery.
The champagne was fine,
but he had to opine
that the price was just absolute robbery.

I have to get out a rhyming dictionary to do stuff like that. I wish I had that knack
