Wine was a drink made from pressed fruit, usually some form of grape. While commonly found on Earth, many alien civilisations made their own wines. The Wine Lords were famed throughout the Galaxy for their wines. However, society collapsed when they were convicted of mislabelling wine.

According to Richard Mace, wine tasted like "nectar", he claimed this to Adric after looting a manor's cellar.

Several incarnations of the Doctor enjoyed drinking wine, with the third incarnation of the Doctor in particular enjoying a glass or two of red wine while guarding Auderly House, saying to Jo; "That's a most good-humoured wine. A touch sardonic, perhaps, but not cynical. A most civilised wine, one after my own heart." The Fourth Doctor described 1979 as more of a "table wine" of a year. By his ninth incarnation the Doctor could identify the year and place of origin of wine by its taste.

The Eleventh Doctor did not enjoy wine, spitting it back into the glass after taking a sip when given some at the house of Craig Owens. At Lake Silencio, the Eleventh Doctor brought a bottle that he said was thrown at him by Napoleon to drink at a picnic with Amy Pond, Rory Williams and River Song, but again spat it out, stating before he did that he must have tried it sometime in his life.

Types of wine
Médoc was a red wine favoured by John Lucarotti.

Fortified wines, like sherry and vermouth were wines with an added distilled beverage.

Champagne, sometimes known as "sparkling wine" was a wine with carbon dioxide in it, making it bubbly. It was often used for a celebration such as Christmas or to celebrate the end of a particular event.

Sour red wine was on offer in Irongron's castle. The third incarnation of the Doctor also drank several goblets while with Lord Wessex. (TV: The Time Warrior)
