In her interview with Rolling Stone magazine, “I Drink Wine” was described by Adele as a song about shedding one’s ego, complete with a bit of a Seventies Elton John and Bernie Taupin flair, sharing,
I took everything so personally at that period of time in my life, so the lyric ‘I hope I learn to get over myself’ is like [me saying] ‘Once I’ve done that, then maybe I can let you love me.’ ”
Adele also pulled a “Barry Manilow trick,” on the song where every chorus is sung differently. She put on different characters while recording the background vocals, too, to give it a sarcastic, Sixties vibe.
It made it less intimidating because some of the things I’m talking about really hit home for a lot of people.
The track was debuted live ahead of the album release at Adele’s CBS Special One Night Only performed in LA alongside other tracks from the album.
