Natalia Avelon is the reason for the sexiest wine video ever

Strawberries cherries and an angel’s kiss in spring. My summer wine is really made from all these things. So begins what was originally a duet between Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra in 1967. So popular and enduring is the song that it became part of the sound track to the 2007 film Das Wilde Leben. Translation from the German is the wild life. The film was set in the 1960s, and depicted the “wild life” of Uschi Obermaier, the first known German groupie. Cast to play the role of Obernaier was Natalia Avelon.

It was HIM lead singer Ville Valo who dueted with her in a cover of the song for the movie’s soundtrack.

Summer Wine is a song written by Lee Hazelwood. It was originally sung by Suzi Jane Hokom and Lee Hazlewood in 1966, but it was made famous by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood in 1967. This version was originally released as the B-side of “Sugar Town” the previous year before featuring on the Nancy & Lee LP in 1968. It was the first of Sinatra and Hazlewood’s string of popular duets. Even Bono of U2 covered it with The Coors.

Lyrically, “Summer Wine” describes a man, voiced by Valo, who meets a woman, Avelon, who notices his silver spurs and invites him to have wine with her. After heavy drinking, the man awakens hungover to find his spurs and money have been stolen by the mysterious woman.

With summer drawing to its inevitable conclusion, we give you another look at what is surely the coolest, sexiest wine video ever.
