"'Sports & Wine'" is a song from Ben Folds Five's 1995 self-titled debut album.[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000000IDJ Amazon: 'Ben Folds Five'] It was written by Ben Folds.[http://repertoire.bmi.com/title.asp?blnWriter=True&blnPublisher=True&blnArtist=True&keyID=1959320&ShowNbr=0&ShowSeqNbr=0&querytype=WorkID BMI Repertoire Listing] The song is a snide dismissal of a "man's man" who attempts to put up the pretense of being sensitive so that he can appeal more to the opposite sex.[http://www.thesuburbs.org.uk/lyrics/Sports__Wine Original Lyrics at theSuburbs.org.uk]

The album version of "Sports & Wine" appears as an additional track on the commercial CD single and the "B" side of the commercial 7" vinyl single of the song "Underground". Both singles were released in the United Kingdom in April 1996 by Vital Distribution for Passenger/Caroline.
