"Time Makes a Wine" is a song by New Zealand music group Ardijah. It was released through WEA in 1987[2][3] as the third and final single from their debut album Ardijah (1987), reaching the top 50 of the New Zealand charts.[4][5] The song was featured in the 1986 film Queen City Rocker alongside Ardijah themselves.[6]

Release

[edit]

The release of "Time Makes a Wine" was accompanied by a partially animated music video[6] which received airplay on MTV in Australia, though the song did not chart outside of New Zealand.[5] Irene Cara wanted to record a reworked version of the track but these plans did not come to fruition; it was later reworked by Ardijah themselves and included with the release of the group's third album, Time (1999).[5]
