Proud Sonoma producer Jordan Winery released a few weeks ago what is now becoming a classic wine parody song based on the global hit “Shape of You” by Ed Sheeran.
The latter song happening to be an absolute favorite of mine, I clearly don’t mind the wine-related version!
The parody song, tittled ‘Shape of Cab’ as in ‘Shape of Cabernet Sauvignon’ is an ode to the grape and to wine lovers’ passion for wine.
I’m in love with cab’s body
Un-cork-un-cork-un-cork-un-cork
Lisa Maston, Director of Marketing & Communications at Jordan Vineyard & Winery, said: “Making parody songs has become a new hobby of mine” and proof is that parody songs are a very effective way for wineries to boost their social media & marketing reach on the digital sphere, to get crowds’ attention and talking.
And the first verse of the song (see full lyrics below) is bound to grab attention indeed, and create some friendly controversy with the Napa Valley neighbors:
Napa isn’t the best place for wines of balance
Sonoma is where I go
It is not the first time Jordan Winery releases a wine-song parody music video. Their previous creation ‘Blurred Vines’, after Robin Thicke’s ‘Blurred lines’ has reached over 50K views on Youtube (see embedded video below).
‘Grape Thrills’, a wine-related adaptation of ‘Cheap Thrills’ by Sia was also a fairly big hit.

‘Shape of Cab’ Official Lyrics
Napa isn’t the best place for wines of balance
Sonoma is where I go
Me and my girl at home sipping reds
Tasting wine and loving life slow
Open our cellar and share a Cabernet with just me
And trust me; give this a chance now
Pull the cork, stop, pull a decanter from the box
And then you start to pour, and now I’m swirling like
Girl, you know I want that cab
That wine was handmade for somebody like me
Uncork it now, follow my lead
High alcohol wine ain’t for me
Say, wine critics talk too much
Grab a glass and share that bottle with me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead
I’m in love with a cab that’s smooth
Soft like velvet and goes with food
Full of dark fruits—black, red, blue
I’m in love with cab’s body
And last night we were at the table
And now my dining room smells like cab
Aged with French oak barrels, old and new
I’m in love with cab’s body
Un-cork-un-cork-un-cork-un-cork
I’m in love with cab’s body
De-cant-de-cant-de-cant-de-cant
I’m in love with cab’s body
Pour-it-pour-it-pour-it-pour-it
I’m in love with cab’s body
Choosing fruit and acid over power too
I’m in love with a cab that’s smooth
Thirty minutes in, the bouquet begins
We’re going out on a dinner date
You and me are splurging, so go for red meat
Fill up your glass and I order two filets
We talk for hours and hours about the change in Parker’s power
And how Enthusiast is saving the day
Leave and get in an Uber, it smells like Gruner
Ask the driver, what wine makes your day and he’s singing like
Man, you know I love smooth cab
That wine was handmade for somebody like me
Uncork it now, follow my lead
High alcohol wine ain’t for me
Say, wine critics talk too much
Grab a glass and share that bottle with me
Uncork it now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead
I’m in love with a cab that’s smooth
Soft like velvet and goes with food
Full of dark fruits—black, red, blue
I’m in love with cab’s body
And last night we were at the table
And now my dining room smells like cab
Aged only with French oak barrels, old and new
I’m in love with cab’s body
Un-cork-un-cork-un-cork-un-cork
I’m in love with cab’s body
De-cant-de-cant-de-cant-de-cant
I’m in love with cab’s body
Pour-it-pour-it-pour-it-pour-it
I’m in love with cab’s body
Choosing fruit and acid over power too
I’m in love with a cab that’s smooth
